Oakdale Cemetery
Cemetery
Established 1855 but incorporating colonial-era grave sites; Oakdale is the primary historic cemetery of Wilmington and contains graves of Revolutionary War veterans and Cape Fear families whose ancestors participated in the Moore's Creek campaign and the 1781 occupation. A register of Revolutionary War veterans buried here documents Wilmington's contribution to the Patriot cause.
