A portion of the eastern section is owned by the Federal Government as Loudon Park National Cemetery, acquired in 1861, and holds the remains of 2,300 Union soldiers[5] killed during the Civil War. There is also a Confederate section where about 650 Confederate soldiers are buried,marked by a statue of a Confederate soldier.
