Established in 1855 on the immediate outskirts of Leesburg, Union
cemetery was created as a public cemetery open to people of all faiths.
It predated three other “Union” cemeteries in Loudoun County
established at Hillsboro, Waterford and Lovettsville. The cemetery
contains the 1908 Union Chapel and several notable monuments, including
a Confederate War Memorial at the north end of the site, and an
imperfectly cut 30-foot- high granite column, allegedly designed for a
D.C. public building, but rejected and brought to the cemetery in the
1890s.
