About Greene-Miller Cemetery
The cemetery contains the grave of Nathanael Greene, Continental major general and commander of the Southern Department. Greene’s strategy exhausted British forces through maneuver and hard-fought battles in 1781. His remains were later reinterred in Savannah; the cemetery preserves his postwar family association.
A small enclosed family cemetery remains with historic markers associated with descendants of Nathanael Greene and neighboring families. Maintained graves, monuments, fencing, and rural grounds preserve the burial landscape, though public access may be limited by its private setting and surrounding property conditions.
