There are maps of the cemetery which you can pick up when you arrive. In addition to the Booth family plot, there are other notable people buried at Green Mount Cemetery, including Harriet Lane, Confederate Generls Joe Johnston and Isaac Trimble, and Reverdy Johnson. Also, the Weaver Vault is not to miss. That is where JWB's remains where kept prior to his burial. Very interesting information about General Trimble, Laurie. I visited his gravesite when I there. I really don't think Trimble gets the attention he deserves. He played a big a part at Gettysburg and was severely wounded in the leg during Pickett's charge. His leg was eventually amputated. I forgot to mention, I also visited with Sam Arnold and O'Laughlen during my time at Green Mount; They too, are buried there. |
