Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery, National cemetery in Fort Leavenworth, United States.
The military cemetery spans 36 acres across Fort Leavenworth grounds, containing granite monuments and organized sections for veterans and their eligible family members.
Established in 1862 during the Civil War, this cemetery became one of the first fourteen national cemeteries designated by Congress for soldiers who died serving their country.
Eight Medal of Honor recipients rest within these grounds, alongside thousands of military service members who represented different branches throughout American military history.
The cemetery office maintains operation hours from Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, while the grounds remain accessible from sunrise to sunset daily.
Between 1885 and 1907, the cemetery received nearly 2,000 reinterments from abandoned army outposts across the western United States during the post-Indian Wars period.
