The soldiers' lot is located in the southern portion of the Prospect Hill Cemetery. At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Vermont 1st and 2nd brigades were organized at the military campground at Brattleboro. After the brigades mustered out, the campground was transformed into a hospital for soldiers from Vermont and the surrounding states who came north from the front to convalesce. Soldiers who died in the hospital were originally buried in the barracks cemetery. In 1869, the federal government purchased a 50-foot by-30 foot lot in Prospect Hill Cemetery for $100, and subsequently reburied the interments from the barracks cemetery there.
