National Military Cemetary - Nashville, Tennessee

The Nashville National Cemetery is located at 1050 Gallatin Road, Madison, Tennessee, about six miles north of Downtown Nashville. The site is almost square in shape, and the grounds are laid off in irregular burial sections. The main entrance is situated near the center of the east side. In 1870, a smooth rusticated limestone arch, about 32 feet high and 25 feet wide, with two Tuscan columns, was constructed on each side. It is similar in design to the one at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Under the arch is a wrought-iron gate, which was the original entry to the cemetery. In the early 1940's, new entries were constructed on each side of the arch. These new entries are typical of those constructed in national cemeteries during the period, replacing original gates that were too narrow to accommodate modern automobiles. The cemetery was established in July 1866. The site for the cemetery was chosen by General George H. Thomas, Federal commander at the Battle of Nashville, and for a time after the war, the person in charge of U.S. military forces around the city. Thomas chose this site along the rails of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in order, he said, that "no one could come to Nashville from the north and not be reminded of the sacrifices that had been made for the preservation of the Union." Graves were originally marked by wooden headboards or by stakes painted and numbered and, in a few cases, by marble slabs erected by friends of the decedents. The headboards and stakes were later replaced with upright marble markers. The cemetery closed in 1993. And, as of August 31, 1996 (the time of the writing of the original documents submitted to the National Register of Historic Places), there were 30,558 graves used for the interment of 32,642 casketed remains and 279 sites used for the interment of 398 cremated remains. This site was added to the NRHP on December 20, 1996 and remains today as a memory to those who fought and died in the Civil War. More information like above can be viewed here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
