The Milton community lies in the northeast corner of Rutherford County between Auburntown and Murfreesboro, Milton was established by entrepreneur, Gideon Thompson in 1820. This community cemetery contains numerous soldiers including Civil War, WWI, WWII, and Korean veterans. Of particular interest is the way this cemetery is laid out. The larger portion of the cemetery to the right was the historic white section, while the section to the left was designated for African Americans. This was not an unusual practice for the time and can be seen in many cemeteries. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
