This cemetery was a burial site for Confederate soldiers who died in the Battle of Jonesboro in 1864.

It is one of six Confederate cemeteries maintained by the Georgia Building Authority.

The three known soldiers in this cemetery are Agnatius Brooke, Robert Lindsay and Abner Joel Yancey.

The walkways are shaped in the letter X and graves fill in the triangles of the X.

Organizations continue to preserve historic documents and present new information to understand the history of Georgia and its confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.
