About

Founded in 1865, the cemetery is situated next to the towering Saratoga Monument.[2][3] The cemetery abuts the Victory Woods trail.[4]

Notable monuments

The cemetery includes the Solider Monument, a monument dedicated to Company K of the 77th Regiment of the civil war. The first ten men to join Company K received a bounty of ten dollars apiece. The company's chosen captain, John R. Rockwell, was the editor of the Saratoga American. This company consisted of three-fourths of the 340 soldiers who marched from Saratoga to fight for the Union.[5][6][7][8][9]
