In a far corner of Evergreen Cemetery on Highland Avenue near Murfreesboro Police Department headquarters is an open field. It s lumpy in some places where the ground is visibly sunken. Beneath that fertile soil are the unmarked graves of at least 30 people once enslaved at Oaklands Plantation. They don t disturb anything over there because they know people are buried without headstones. . But they don t know how many, explained Mary Watkins with the African American Heritage Society of Rutherford County, which is partnering with Oaklands Mansion historic site to build a memorial to honor the enslaved.
