camp nelson confederate cemetery

Its hard to not tear up reading the history on this wonderful location. Its a must see! I must say that I feel as if the Confederate flag should still fly here. ....Respect. ...

I had no idea about this place, nor how the civil war affected the area at all. The saddest part to me was the headstones simply list "A Soldier"... no names - leading to the realisation of so many wives and families waiting for husbands, fathers and sons to come home for the rest of their lives

I play the fiddle/violin and I go over to the site periodically and play Civil War tunes for the boys...even though they aren't up and running... I think they can hear my songs and probably enjoy hearing them. They make a wonderful audiance...none of them have complained yet. It's a good place for me to get some practice time.
