The post cemetery, surrounded by a stone wall, is at the back of the larger city cemetery. A marker beside the flagpole provides a timeline and layout of the fort. Although the soldiers' remains were removed to Fort Leavenworth after Fort Wallace was abandoned, those of early civilians and scouts remain. You'll see gravestones for two 1868 scouts and for the massacred German family. Dozens of wooden grave markers give a brief summary of how each person died. A tall stone cenotaph (inside an open-faced shed) was erected by members of the Seventh U.S. Cavalry in memory of comrades lost during the Indian battles of 1867.
