A Visit To The Mass Confederate Burial At Finn's Point National Cemetery In Pennsville, NJ For Confederate History Week

It is April 27, 2014 and this is the second episode in Michael The Researcher's Confederate History Week Series.  This video was also filmed in conjunction with the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War.  For this episode, I traveled to Finn's Point National Cemetery in Pennsville, New Jersey.

Some of you will recall a video that I posted five years ago.  It was filmed at the Nassau Cemetery in Princeton, New Jersey.  There I stumbled upon the grave of a Confederate General.  I was shocked to see a Confederate Veteran's grave in a New Jersey cemetery.  Today I went to another New Jersey cemetery and this one includes 2,436 Confederate Veterans' graves.  In this video I will take you inside of the Finn's Point National Cemetery to view the premises and the Confederate Memorial/Monument.

There are no tombstones for any of the Confederate Soldiers who are buried here.  The Confederates were Prisoners Of War at Fort Delaware and were taken to Finn's Point after they had passed away.

Video footage of the day:


Photographs ...




I did not bother to film this information sign since it is so nasty ... a picture is bad enough:


The Confederate Memorial/Monument ...





Open areas where burial spots are likely ...




Here are views of all four sides of the Memorial/Monument featuring plaques that name all 2,436 Confederate Veterans ...






This was by the road on the way out of the Cemetery.  I thought it looked nice so I decided to take some photographs ...




On the way home, I stopped into a store that was on South Road in Pennsville ... very fitting given the day, where I had just been and the overall Confederate History Week:
