Established in 1863, The Marietta Confederate Cemetery was founded after Jane Glover donated part of her plantation to be the final resting place of twenty Confederate soldiers who had died in a nearby train wreck. The cemetery later went on to be the burial place for over three thousand soldiers. Every state that made up the Confederacy is represented in the Marietta Confederate Cemetery, in addition to Missouri, Maryland, and Kentucky. It is also the largest Confederate cemetery anywhere south of the city of Richmond. A significant number of the soldiers buried here fought at Kolb's Farm and Kennesaw Mountain.
