Evergreen Cemetery, Military and rural cemetery in Gettysburg, United States
The Evergreen Cemetery stretches across 29 acres on Cemetery Hill, featuring burial grounds with iron fences and a historic gatehouse at the entrance.
Founded in 1854, the cemetery became a strategic position for Union artillery during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.
