Established in 1867 by the Sons of Good Will for the proper burial of Gettysburg's African American citizens and Civil War veterans. Some thirty members of the US Colored Troops are buried here, having been denied burial in the National Cemetery because of segregation policies. Also here are many of the town's earliest black residents, reinterred when the town's "Colored Cemetery" was cleared in 1906 to provide space for new houses.
