Waterford Union of Churches Cemetery The quiet cemetery is on a commanding rise at the northeast end of the village of Waterford. The graveyard takes its name not from the Civil War, but rather from its use by a "union" of Waterford churches. Since the early 1800s, the Union of Churches Cemetery has served all Waterford denominations (albeit segregated into black and white sections), other than the Quakers — whose burying ground adjoins Fairfax Meetinghouse. Both Union and Confederate veterans lie here. The Waterford cemetery is now managed as a nonprofit organization with the mission to preserve the cemetery and its history.
