Crown Hill National Cemetery, Indiana

Crown Hill National Cemetery is located 2.8 miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, within the private Crown Hill Cemetery. During the Civil War, Union soldiers who died while stationed at the various camps near Indianapolis and at local hospitals were originally buried at nearby Green Lawn Cemetery. However, concern over the limited acreage and poor maintenance of these facilities led the governor to request a national cemetery for the city. The Federal government purchased lots within the new Crown Hill Cemetery (established in 1863), and in 1866, the remains buried at Green Lawn were reinterred at Crown Hill. In addition to the Union soldiers, Confederate prisoners were buried at Crown Hill National Cemetery from Camp Morton.

Revolutionary War Sergeant John Morrow is buried here. Morrow (1760–1835) enlisted in the Patriot cause in December 1776 at age 16. He served for three months with Captain W. Blain's Pennsylvania Militia company. He enlisted for two more three-month terms in 1778 and 1779, serving with several Pennsylvania militia regiments and attaining the rank of sergeant. Morrow was wounded in action and fought at the Battle of Crooked Billet during the Philadelphia Campaign of 1778.

Crown Hill National Cemetery is closed to new interments.
