The McGavock Confederate Cemetery, the largest privately held Confederate cemetery in the United States is located in Franklin, Tennessee. It was established on land donated by the McGavock-Planter family. The nearly 1, 500 Confederate soldiers buried here were casualties of the nearby Battle of Franklin that took place November 30, 1864. While 780 of the soldiers have been identified, 558 are still unknown. The graves were meticulously cared for by Carrie Winder McGavock until her death in 1905. Since then the cemetery has been maintained by the Franklin chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
