Mulberry Street Cemetery

Mulberry Street Cemetery is a vital part of LaGrange’s story, serving as a final resting place for community members and visitors from 1863 to 1930.

The oldest section—once called Stonewall Cemetery—contains marked graves of soldiers from all 11 Confederate states. To the west and south lie about 1,000 previously unmarked graves, most believed to be African Americans who died between 1865 and the early 1900s. Among those buried here, the most notable is Horace King, the renowned 19th-century bridge builder and legislator. His family’s gravesite is honored with a granite monument, and in 2022, the City of LaGrange added a section of covered bridge built by his son, George King.

Though many details remain unknown, Mulberry Street Cemetery reflects a diverse cross-section of LaGrange’s past and offers a meaningful window into the city’s unique history.
