The Freedmen's Cemetery was a cemetery in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, where formerly enslaved men, women and children were buried following the end of the American Civil War. Established in 1867 as a four-acre civilian cemetery by the U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, also known as the Freedmen's Bureau, it was located adjacent to Monument Cemetery (now known as the Chalmette National Cemetery), where the U.S. government had begun burying deceased Union soldiers in 1864, many of whom had been involved in the Red River campaign.
