Danville National Cemetery
Danville National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Danville, Illinois, United States.
The Danville National Cemetery encompasses a designated burial ground within the VA Illiana Health Care System on the eastern side of Vermilion County.
Congress established the cemetery in 1898 following the authorization of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, with formal plotting completed in 1901.
The cemetery honors military service members with the Civil War Soldiers Monument, featuring a granite base and bronze statue created by sculptor Clark Noble.
The cemetery maintains regular operations during daylight hours and provides burial services for veterans, active military members, and their eligible family members.
The land where the cemetery stands belonged to Native American tribes, with salt deposits along the Vermilion River attracting early settlers to this location.
