Churches and Schools
Like most small towns, churches of various denominations, cemeteries, and schools are dotted in and around Ashland, Virginia.
Woodland Cemetery
Woodland is currently the final resting place for over 6,000 persons, many of whom called Ashland home for most of their lives.
Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery
A “good Christian burial,” one of the benefits of freedom, was very important to African Americans just out of slavery. Indeed, many blacks belonged to burial societies that facilitated their financial preparedness for the inevitability of death.
