McClellan Gate, Ceremonial gate in Arlington National Cemetery, US.
The McClellan Gate stands 30 feet tall and features red sandstone construction with gold inscriptions and Doric columns at its entry.
Built in 1871 as the main entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, the structure honors Civil War General George B. McClellan and displays verses from Theodore O'Hara.
The gate includes inscriptions from the poem 'Bivouac of the Dead' on both east and west-facing arches, reflecting American military memorial traditions.
Visitors can find McClellan Gate along McClellan Drive within Arlington National Cemetery, which opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
