Reviews
tripadvisorYou must part on the street, but it is open for foot traffic. Some really really old grave sites. It was a pretty place.
MoreWe visited this National Cemetery on Memorial Day. It is not large as others we've seen, but it does have a sobering presence the same as the larger National Cemeteries. There was a US flag on each gravestone, a reminder that each one has given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
MoreThe first eight days of November each year, visiting a cemetery and praying for the occupants, gains great graces and give one an opportunity to reflect on those who've gone before us.
MoreBeing a history teacher and the son of a WWII veteran, I had the privilege of taking several of my US History classes to this cemetery to meet veterans and for them to speak to primary sources instead of reading about the wars in a history book.
MoreI have friends buried here. This is a quiet and serene setting. It truly honors those veterans who gave their all.
