Found inside the Woodlawn Cemetery of Elmira, the Woodlawn National Cemetery is a 10.5-acre military cemetery that was originally created to serve as a burial place for the Confederate prisoners of war who were kept in Elmira during the American Civil War. In addition to the graves, the cemetery is also home to two significant monuments: one to commemorate the Confederate prisoners who lost their lives in Elmira, and another in memory of the lives lost during a tragic railway accident that took place during the Civil War. The cemetery is open to visitors every day between sunrise and sunset.
