St. Mihiel American Cemetery and Memorial

The St. Mihiel American Cemetery spans 40.5 acres and contains 4,153 graves of American military personnel arranged in four equal plots divided by tree-lined paths.

The cemetery honors soldiers who lost their lives during the 1918 St. Mihiel Offensive, which reduced the German salient threatening Paris during World War I.

The memorial features a chapel with marble floors, a mosaic depicting St. Michael the Archangel, and walls inscribed with names of 284 missing service members.

Located 180 miles east of Paris, the cemetery welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with staff available to provide information and guidance.

A central sundial crowned by an American eagle marks the intersection of the cemetery's main paths, while a marble map illustrates the St. Mihiel Campaign.
