Oak Grove Cemetery is located on South Main Street in downtown Lexington, Virginia, less than a mile from the campus of the Virginia Military Institute. It was originally known as the Presbyterian Cemetery as it served the Lexington Presbyterian Church, established in 1789, and it is likely that the cemetery was laid off in the following years. The first burial is from 1792. Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, a member of the church from 1851 to 1863, was buried here after his death at the Battle of Chancellorsville. After the cemetery was transferred from the church to the city of Lexington in 1949, it was renamed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery. In 2020, the city council renamed the cemetery to Oak Grove Cemetery.
