Leavenworth National Cemetery
Leavenworth National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Leavenworth, Kansas, United States.
The cemetery extends across 128.8 acres of land, featuring winding pathways that lead to elevated viewpoints overlooking the Missouri River valley.
Established in 1886 as part of the Western Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, the cemetery grounds previously belonged to a Delaware Indian reservation.
A limestone obelisk monument erected in 1919 stands at the highest point of the cemetery to commemorate soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country.
The cemetery office operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, while the grounds remain accessible to visitors from sunrise to sunset.
Eight Medal of Honor recipients rest within the cemetery grounds, including five individuals recognized for their service during the American Civil War.
