Confederate Cemetery - Union Mills Area

Located on the north side of the Southern Railway tracks on land now owned by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.

During the winter of 1861/62 large numbers of Confederate troops were stationed in and around the Centreville area. Many deaths were caused by both military action and disease, especially measles. Documentary sources record that a cemetery containing several hundred burials, many marked by native soapstone markers, was identifiable as late as 1898. The area is heavily wooded, and no graves have been positively located yet.
