| Green Hill Cemetery | |
|
_______________ |
Lee
StDanville, Virginia Established in 1863, Green Hill was the first of three connecting cemeteries laid out on the old Green estate. With pleasant winding drives, Green Hill is typical of the Romantic layout of mid-19th century municipal cemeteries. Green Hill is the final resting place of a number of Confederate veterans, and Danville's Confederate quartermaster Maj. William T. Sutherlin. "Confederate Row" as the burial plots are called, leads to Danville's Confederate Soldiers Monument, a 16-ton obelisk that stands 32 feet atop a six-foot mound.
