It always takes my breath away to witness the tributes given to Americans in uniform, as they well deserve. This is especially true in a cemetery designed and maintained with such respect. It is also a wonderful place to walk around, reflect on the history of these events, and soak in the hallowed and peaceful surroundings.
It was well taken care of, but not much to satisfy an 8 and 10 year old. Lots of room to run though.
Very well kept grounds and directly across the street National Battlefield. Great place for field day or just time alone. Very respectful place to just appreciate those who gave all.
It is amazing how many men died here in such a short amount of time, fighting for the side they believed in. Looking over all of the grave makers of the union soldiers (the Confederate soldiers were buried elsewhere) can almost bring you to tears when you think about the thousands who died here in one of the fiercest battles of the civil war. While the information inside the office heavily favors the union side of the story, it is still a good place to take children for an education on our nation's history.
This National Cemetery is the final resting place for Union soldiers. No southern soldiers are buried here. This is a very solemn place and is a beautiful place to visit.
I drove though the battle field and this was across the street from where you exit. Well maintained and full of history. Great spot for a photographer. A reminder of how many people of lost their lives for our country.
I have been to many of the major U.S. cemeteries in the country including Arlington and the area at Little Big Horn. The Stones River National Cemetery has its own feel, and though it is near businesses on the other side of the railroad track, the fact that it is beside the railroad tracks they fought for is haunting.It is very interesting to meander around the cemetery and see the various markers. Also, you can see the tradition of people leaving Pennies on markers as a sign of respect.
A well maintained cemetery with cool grave markers and monuments. An excellent visit to ponder the history of war in America.
Very well kept historical cemetery. It was nice to walk around and learn about everything. Be careful crossing the street to get to the cemetery from the museum.
Well taken care of and located across from the battlefield, it is pretty typical for a Civil War cemetery.
