Woodlawn National Cemetery

Reviewed By PeterG756 - Buffalo, United States

Visiting here was a very moving experience. All the white headstones are lined up in orderly rows, magnificent. This is NOT to be confused with Woodlawn cemetery where Mark Twain is buried despite other reviews saying so. This is a National veterans cemetery right next to the other one. There are over 2,500 confederate soldiers buried here among the 10,000 + graves. They were victims of poor conditions and over crowding at the Elmira Prison during the civil war. The cemetery is excellently maintained.

Woodlawn Cemetery of Elmira

Reviewed By youthgoes - Lewisburg, United States

A beautiful cemetery! Stopped in while I was in Elmira for the day. Of particular note are the graves of Hal Roach, creator of the Little Rascals, and director of Laurel and Hardy’s early films, and of prolific American writer Mark Twain, norm Samuel Clemens, and his wife and family. Well worth a stop to pay tribute.

Mark Twain’s grave is clearly marked how to get to it before you even enter the cemetery. Very nice. Easy to fine. In a beautiful cemetery.
