Aspenvale Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at Seven Mile Ford, Smyth County, Virginia. The cemetery consists of three sections, with the most prominent marked by a "T"-shaped limestone wall and containing the graves of the Preston and Campbell families. It includes the grave of Revolutionary War General William Campbell (c. 1745-1781). His remains were originally placed in a marble table tomb erected by his son-in-law, General Francis Preston in 1823. It was replaced in 1964.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
