Abstract:

Raleigh's Historic Cemetery and Mausoleum is located in the center of Historic Oakwood, the city's revitalized Victorian neighborhood. Raleigh businessman and plantation owner Henry Mordecai donated 2 and one-acres for the cemetery in 1867. Today it covers 102 acres and is the resting place of 1,500 Confederate soldiers and sailors and four Confederate generals, as well as other great and ordinary individuals who populated Raleigh and the state.
