Burke's Garden Central Church and Cemetery
Burkes Garden Central Lutheran Church, listed as Burkes Garden Central Church and Cemetery, is a historic Lutheran church, cemetery, and national historic district located at Burke's Garden, Tazewell County, Virginia. The church was built in 1875, and is a plain rectangular frame building, two bays long, with a steep gable roof. It originally served multiple denominations as a union church but has exclusively served the Lutheran denomination in modern times.[3] The community was an outpost of German immigrants who settled in the backcountry frontier in the late 18th century. The cemetery was founded in 1827, and contains a notable collection of sandstone Germanic gravestones.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] References
