Established by General George Henry Thomas back in 1866, the cemetery was created to provide a resting place for almost ten thousand Union soldiers who died during the Atlanta Campaign of General William Sherman. THe land for the cemetery was donated by Henry Cole, a local resident who had hoped Union and Confederate soldiers could both be buried at the site to foster peace. In 1998, the Marietta National Cemetery was added to the country’s National Register of Historic Places.
