Mount Hebron Cemetery and Gatehouse is a historic cemetery and gatehouse located at Winchester, Virginia. The cemetery was established in 1844 on two older churchyards, including that of Christ Episcopal Church in 1853. Many Civil War soldiers who died in Winchester's hospitals were interred in this cemetery, but after the war, the Union Burial Corps reinterred many Union dead into the Winchester National Cemetery established nearby, or to their home towns. The 1866 expansion included Stonewall Confederate Cemetery for 2,576 Confederate war dead. Iron fence added in 1891 and the Chateauesque style limestone gatehouse for superintendent added in 1902.{{cite web|title=Mount Hebron Cemetery: History|url=http://www.mthebroncemetery.org/history.html|publisher=Mount Hebron Cemetery|accessdate=20 May 2012}}{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Winchester/138-0044_Mount_Hebron_2008_NRHP_Final_nomination.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Mount Hebron Cemetery and Gatehouse|author=Anna Klemm_and DHR Staff|date=July 2008|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Winchester/138-0044_MountHebron_photographs.htm Accompanying four photos]
