HISTORY Crown Hill National Cemetery was established on September 25 , 1863 as a place to reinter Union soldiers who died in the Civil War camps and hospitals near Indianapolis, which were originally buried in Green Lawn Cemetery . During the war, Camp Morton, located north of Indianapolis, was a large prisoner of war camp, and a section was created in Green Lawn Cemetery to inter those prisoners that died, but after the war they were moved to Crown Hill and interred in a mass grave. In 1993 a Confederate Memorial was erected to mark the grave. Crown Hill Cemetery, including the National Cemetery, was listed on the National Register Of Historic Places in 1973 .
