Deep within the woods of Manassas National Battlefield Park lies Pittsylvania Cemetery. It’s a place shrouded in history, a silent testament to a family’s legacy. This area was once known as Pittsylvania. It was established in 1765. The cemetery itself, also known as the Carter Family Cemetery, holds the remains of over 70 members of the Carter family. Their stories are interwoven with the very land. Landon Carter, Jr., the builder of Pittsylvania, rests here. Dr. Issac Henry, who resided on the historic Henry Hill, also found his final resting place within these grounds. The last burial took place in 1903, marking the end of an era for the Carter family at Pittsylvania Cemetery. There are no headstones to mark individual graves. It’s said that all are buried in a linear pattern, a stark and simple arrangement beneath the trees. The original stones from the Carter mansion can still be seen, remnants of a grand home that served as a hospital during the Civil War. Sadly, the mansion was destroyed by fire in 1862. Pittsylvania Cemetery remains a peaceful sanctuary within the bustling park. It whispers tales of generations past and the lives they lived on this land.
