Woodlawn National Cemetery
Woodlawn National Cemetery, National military cemetery in Elmira, United States
The Woodlawn National Cemetery contains burial grounds across several sections, with rows of white headstones marking the final resting places of military personnel.
The cemetery began operations in 1864 during the Civil War as a burial ground for Union soldiers and Confederate prisoners from the nearby Camp Rathbun.
The United Daughters of the Confederacy erected a bronze memorial in 1937 facing east toward the burial area of Confederate soldiers who died in captivity.
The cemetery grounds remain open daily from sunrise to sunset, while the administrative office operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
The Shohola Monument from 1911 marks the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers who perished together in a railroad accident during wartime transport.
