Cemeteries of Nelson County, Virginia
The Nelson County Historical Society is planning to update and republish a new edition of their book Cemeteries of Nelson County, Virginia.
Please forward any corrections, new cemetery listings, or other information that might be helpful to info@nelsonhistorical.org as we work to make the most complete listing of cemeteries available. Target publication is Spring 2020.
Member Search Capability
- A searchable listing of the Society's archival holdings at the Nelson Memorial Library and at the Oakland Museum can be found under Society Archives.
- In some instances, digitized photographs may also be available through the online catalog. We hope to increase these digitized offerings in the future.
