About Friends of Alexandrias Historict District

The Alexandria Historic Cemeteries District is a community-led initiative committed to preserving, protecting, and honoring the rich and often overlooked history of Alexandria, Tennessee. These sacred grounds are the final resting place of many of DeKalb County’s earliest settlers, many individuals who served in both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, as well as numerous African American residents, some of whom were born into slavery and later became vital contributors to the local community.
