Loudon Park National Cemetery

Loudon Park National Cemetery is a military burial site of roughly 5 acres within the larger Loudon Park Cemetery, featuring formal cast-iron gates and a Victorian lodge from the 1890s. The grounds are orderly and quiet, with manicured lawns and graves arranged in straight rows.

The cemetery was established in 1861 and holds remains of roughly 2,300 Union soldiers and 650 Confederate soldiers from the American Civil War. The site emerged during a time of national conflict and became an important place of remembrance.

The Maryland Sons Monument displays scenes from wartime and honors soldiers from the state. The inscriptions and reliefs tell the story of those buried here.

Visitors can locate specific graves using a printed directory at the lodge or through a digital information system. Guidance at arrival helps with finding particular sections of the grounds.

A monument on the grounds marks the resting place of 29 Confederate soldiers who died as prisoners at Fort McHenry. This spot preserves the memory of those held in tragic captivity during the war.
