Chestnut Grove Cemetery (Hutchison Family)

Chestnut Grove Cemetery (Hutchison Family)

Chestnut Grove Cemetery is located in the Town of Herndon, just past Herndon High School on Dranesville Road. It was founded in 1872 to serve as a new burial ground for the residents of Herndon and the surrounding area. Perviously, many were buried in an area which is now Dulles Airport, and were reinterred within Chestnut Grove. Until 1997, Chestnut Grove was operated by volunteers, until the Town of Herndon took over the day-to-day operation of the cemetery. Today the cemetery is run by Mike Moore, and contains an abundance of US and world history on its grounds. The workers of Chestnut Grove are looking to associate more than names and dates to the people they care for, but a personal touch for families and friends to remember their loved ones by. This collection focuses on the Hutchison plot, just one of the many family plots at Chestnut Grove.
