The marker shown above is just one of the first 25 stones to arrive at Loudon Park Cemetery as part of the Adopt a Confederate Program. The Confederate Cross of Honor will appear on each stone as a gift from the engraver. Many more stones have since been installed!

Confederate Hill can be seen to the right of center on the above map, just under the cemetery section labeled “VV.” The main entrance to the cemetery is on Wilkens Avenue and is located to the lower left of center on the map and labeled “Gate.”
