FOREST HOME CEMETERY

CIVIL WAR VETERANS

This is the final resting place for nearly one thousand men who fought for the Union in the Civil War, the most in any private cemetery in Wisconsin. Represented are dozens of Wisconsin volunteer units and those from at least 25 other states and territories, and include regular Army, U.S. Colored Troops, militia, the Navy and Marine Corps.

The marker is located at the northwest entrance to Forest Home Cemetery, and is accessible from eastbound West Forest Home Avenue, east of its intersection with South 27th Street, at or near 2405 West Forest Home Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53215.
