Laid out in 1838 by the city of Brunswick, Oak Grove ranks among the community's oldest public burial grounds, with well over 1,200 graves — several hundred of them unmarked and dozens more unidentified. Roughly 115 Civil War soldiers rest here, representing both Union and Confederate service. After decades of neglect, a volunteer preservation society was organized in 2014 to restore and document the grounds, gravesites, and the cemetery's historic chapel.
