Camp Chase Confederate Cemeter

Tourist attraction Military cemetery

👍👍 Thank you Ohio! After the “Terrorist Attack” on the cemetery last fall, the new security team is no second-string rent-a-cop unit. I felt safe with their attentive overlook of the site. Park in the Diary Twist to the east (right) of the front entrance.

    A great piece of local history. These men died for their country. We may not agree with their political views, but they were Americans and should be honored as such.

    Nice , clean well maintained civil war cemetery . I have been there at dusk and could feel a certain feeling hard to explain. Being from the south I feel a camaraderie with the brave men buried here. Only four stars due to the fact that now instead of putting a small confederate flag next to each grave marker on Memorial day, the people in charge buckled to pressure from the liberal city " leaders" and replaced them with small American flags. Kind of a oxymoron due to the whole war between the States thing. I am a very proud American but let's keep it real. I could swear I hear them rolling over in their graves every Memorial day.

    Great history. I never would have expected to find a large Confederate cemetery in Columbus, Ohio.

    This is a national cemetery containing the remains 2,260 prisoners of war from the confederacy. Parking on the street is allowed, but not advised because Sullivant Ave. is usually busy. The only entrance is from Sullivant Ave, and the gate has steps with no ramp. The markers are spaced closely, and there are no footpaths inside. There are also no significant monuments inside that you can't see from the sidewalk.

    Who knew that near Columbus, Ohio there was a Confederate cemetery. Truly an interesting bit of history and a place worthy of a visit. Parking is an issue though.

    Well maintained, but the headstones are merely that - headstones. I have a relative there and I can tell you based of historic documents, the remains under each stone are suspect as these were moved from unmarked and mass graves during the operation of this criminal operation against Americans of the South. Andersonville was cruel, but Chase and Elmira were inhumane. Prisoners were often doused with icy water during the bitter winters, starved, beaten and left to survive on what they could scrounge. The last commander of Chase was much better than his predecessors, but hundreds still died unnecessarily.

    Beautiful resting place for these brave men. The grounds are we maintained and 24 hour security helps to keep it a safe place to visit.

    Why is statue of confederate soldier missing over big rock?

    I like camp chase because it is home to the graves of many soldiers who lost their lives defending this country against people who were trying to threaten our way of life. They were jealous of our ability to live freely. Without their sacrifice we may not have had the freedoms we are privileged to have. God bless all of you for your sacrifice and enjoy your time with GOD.
