Historical Marker Database

The Revolutionary War Graveyard was the original meeting site of Hopewell Presbyterian Church, which was established in 1785 as the first church in Jefferson County. The graveyard holds the remains of early citizens and Revolutionary War veterans. Although the Hopewell Presbyterian Church, originally a log cabin, was moved to its current location in 1872, the graveyard remains intact.

The Martha Dandridge Garden Club maintains the graveyard. A brochure is available at the graveyard steps, which provides additional information.
