Description

Places like Poplar Grove National Cemetery reflect the tragedy that befell the United States during the Civil War. Each simple headstone is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.

Volunteers are needed to assist with cleaning and rolling small United States Flags for storage for next year's Memorial Day.
