Mountain Home National Cemetery

Mountain Home National Cemetery occupies a large grounds within the Mountain Home Veterans Administration Center in Washington County, Tennessee. The site features expansive lawns with row upon row of marble headstones and several structures throughout the property.

The grounds were established in 1903 as part of a facility for disabled war veterans. It transitioned to official national cemetery status under Veterans Administration management in 1973.

The grounds serve as a gathering place where families honor those who served in the military. You will notice how the landscaping reflects respect through its order and formal design.

The cemetery grounds are accessible to visitors daily from sunrise to sunset with open access year-round. Administrative staff at the site can answer questions about the grounds when they are working.

The buildings on the grounds display French Renaissance architecture, a style rarely seen at American cemeteries. Monument Circle holds the only private graves at the site, belonging to a congressman and his wife.
