Mount Olivet Cemetery (Nashville, Tennessee)

Mount Olivet has been continuously operated since its initial establishment in 1856. It serves as the final resting place for many of Middle Tennessee’s political and business leaders, including several former governors of Tennessee, U.S. Senators, and U.S. Congressional Representatives. Additionally, “Confederate Circle” honors many who served on the Confederate side in the American Civil War. About 1,500 soldiers are buried there.
