Fort Hill Cemetery

Because of Fort Hill's commanding views of the city of Cleveland as well as the railroad and adjacent turnpikes, invading Union troops occupied the cemetery during the War Between the States. Fort Hill also contains the graves of several notable local citizens who played significant roles in Bradley County's history during the War Between the States and Reconstruction. These include Confederate diarist Myra Inman Carter, Union Colonel Spencer Boyd and Judge Levi Trewhitt.

The most somber spot in the cemetery is a mass grave of 270 unknown Confederate soldiers.
