from Wikipedia Entry for Hollywood Cemetery,
Richmond, Virginia
Hollywood Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery in the Oregon Hill neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia, United States. Established in 1847, it was designed by the landscape architect John Notman. The 135-acre cemetery (55 ha) overlooks the James River. As the burial place of James Monroe and John Tyler, it is one of three places in the United States that contain the remains of two U.S. Presidents, the others being Arlington National Cemetery and United First Parish Church.
Due to Richmond's role as capital of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, the cemetery contains the burials of many government officials of the confederacy including president Jefferson Davis and secretary of war James A. Seddon. Hollywood contains the burials of 25 Confederate States Army officers including generals J. E. B. Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee and George Pickett. The cemetery contains the remains of over 11,000 confederate soldiers. They are memorialized by the Monument of the Confederate War Dead, a 90-foot tall (27 m) granite pyramid built in 1869. The cemetery is considered the unofficial National Confederate Cemetery and has hosted ceremonies commemorating Confederate Memorial Day since 1866. Hollywood Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
