Established in 1853, this cemetery contains approximately 500 acres and 26 miles of unpaved roads. For more than 170 years, they have been providing generations in-ground burials, cremations and mausoleum entombments. In addition, families have the preference to store their cremains in the columbarium walls.

CONFEDERATE HILL 

Baltimore was a deeply divided city during the Civil War. Maryland was a slave state but Baltimore had a large population of freed African Americans, plus white abolitionists and Union supporters.  

Early in the war Loudon Park Cemetery was equally divided and a section was donated strictly for the burial of Confederate soldiers, those who had died in local hospitals and nearby battle fields. The first burial was May of 1862. Even after the war and into the 1870s Confederate soldiers were buried here, some coming from battlefields and others who just wanted to be buried with their comrades. Today there are over 650 graves overlooked by a statue of a Confederate Officer.
