The Cemetery Community
After the war, African Americans built their own thriving and prosperous community centered on the Stones River National Cemetery. The community was fittingly named "Cemetery" and included farms, homes, churches, and a school. Some of the people living there were veterans of the 111th United States Colored Infantry and their families.
