Grave Marker for Slave Cemetery

Culloden’s Historic Slave Cemetery

Tradition holds that in this area of the Culloden Cemetery slaves were buried in a section separate from white burials. Almost never in the Antebellum period were the graves of slaves marked with permanent markers. In 2000, the City Council of Culloden placed this marker reading, “We know not who they are, but they are loved ones of God and man and will never be forgotten.”
