Dating back to 1906, the Riverview Cemetery was used as burial grounds for the African American community in Woodstock, Virginia. After the war, African Americans in Woodstock were still buried in cemeteries for the enslaved because they were not laid to rest beside white Americans. Riverview Cemetery provided separated and isolated land for graves. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of grave markers, but there are records for those buried. There are over 100 graves as of today. Currently, the Riverview Cemetery is cared for and maintained by a local group and is owned by the historically Black Mount Zion Methodist Church in Woodstock.
