Established in 1808, the cemetery is believed to hold more than 6,500 burial sites, most of which are unmarked. More than 1,200 Civil War soldiers are buried there. A sidewalk serves as a north-south dividing line. It is said, Catholics are buried on the south, Protestants on the north. The east slope is believed to be the burial grounds of African-Americans.
