A reminder of times when we let our political differences divide us as a nation - and the ultimate prices that were paid. A peaceful place now - definitely worth a visit.

This is a must see along with the Federal Cemetery. Be sure to walk the aisles and read some of the markers.

Like many other locations where Civil War battles were fought, there's a stark contrast between the cemetery where Confederate soldiers are buried in Marietta and where Union soldiers are buried.The actual name of the Confederate cemetery (this one) is City Cemetery. In addition to the Confederate graves, there are recent, even current, civilian graves here. In fact, the majority of this cemetery is general public, so to speak. This cemetery is not as well kept as the National Cemetery (just a few minutes away); but, I guess that's to be expected when the government pays for the upkeep of the national cemetery.That being said, it is a solemn, humbling visit here to see these Confederate graves.

There are a couple of sharp entrances, one off Powder Springs Rd, and very narrow ways butcool views at the top of the hill and lots of good statuary.....

An important stop among the civil war history in the area. There are graves around the flags of each of the confederate and border states. Be aware that there are no records of the actual soldiers buried there. I took my husband's uncle from Maryland a few years ago. He was a Civil war buff and was disappointed not to find names of the Maryland soldiers. As other reviewers have said, the Federal Cemeteries have graves identifying the soldiers and better records. Some of the soldiers in this field were brought here for burial who had died in battles as far away as Tennessee. They are honored beautifully here in Marietta.

Marietta has a large Union cemetery which, if you're interested in the Civil War, you ought to visit. The Confederate soldiers that died at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain were buried in a common grave. Local women petitioned the U.S. Government to release the bodies for proper burial. This cemetery is the result.

We visited the Marietta National Cemetery, established 1866, and the Marietta Confederate Cemetery, established 1863, the day after Christmas specifically to see the wreaths which Wreaths Across America places on the grave sites and because the two sites are close enough together to make it feasible to tour both in an afternoon. The Confederate Cemetery is adjacent to the Marietta City Cemetery, established 1831, which is worth a tour in its own right. Touring the cemetery was an emotional experience, but I was disappointed that there were so few wreaths honoring the Civil War dead. Kennesaw Mountain, where there was a major battle, June 27, 1864, as the Union pushed the Confederate Forces south from Chattanooga towards Atlanta, is visible from a portion of the cemetery and adds to the emotional impact. For any one interested in history, especially Civil War history, this is an important site to visit.

We have made a list of all we want to see in Georgia. The Confederate Cemetery biggist supporter is Mis Mattie Lyon Harris and her likeness made into a statue is beautiful. There is so much history there you want to know all about it. It's been kept up by the city and is amazingly beautiful. There are other marvelous statues there, we learned a lot from our visit.

This is a "must see" for Civil War history buffs. There is so much history there you want to know all about it. There are marvelous statues and great and signs to read. We all learned a lot from our visit.

This place is a must visit. The grounds crew does a tremendous job of keeping the place beautiful. Its sad though to think about all the families destroyed.
