Founded in 1863 at the height of the Civil War, Crown Hill Cemetery is nation's third largest non-government cemetery. Over 200,000 persons are buried and entombed at Crown Hill, including President Benjamin Harrison, poet James Whitcomb Riley, three U.S. vice-presidents (Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles W. Fairbanks, Thomas Riley Marshall), eleven Indiana governors, fourteen United States Senators, and over a dozen generals of the Civil War. In 1933, 1,616 Confederate soldiers who died while prisoners of war at Camp Morton (1862-1865) in Indianapolis were reburied here from Greenlawn. Their graves are memorialized at Crown Hill by a large granite monument and ten smaller ones with bronze plaques bearing the names and units of those interred at this location.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
