In April 2018, I took a driving tour during the Confederate Memorial Day weekend with the intention of visiting the cemetery at Beauvoir for their Memorial Day service. As it turned out, I saw about 4 or 5 large cemeteries.
As I recall, I did not plan to stop at this site. It might have been one of times that I literally slammed on my brakes to see a historical marker. I don't think I have ever heard about this site or if I did, I didn't really comprehend its location or the extent of it.
This cemetery was set in a large forest but it was well manicured and every grave was decorated with a flag---some with Confederate flags and many with Union flags.
