Stones River National Cemetery began as the final resting place for 6,100 U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in service to our nation during the Civil War. In the decades that followed, veterans of later conflicts through Vietnam were laid to rest in that hallowed ground.
 
Join living historians and veterans near the Stones River National Cemetery Rostrum and learn more about the 250 years of service and sacrifice made by our nation's armed forces. You will have an opportunity to see the uniforms and equipment from several war time periods and learn about the stories of some the veterans who lie in the national cemetery.
