West Virginia National Cemetery
West Virginia National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Taylor County, United States.
West Virginia National Cemetery spans across 89.7 acres of land featuring rows of white headstones marking the final resting places of military veterans.
The cemetery opened in 1987 on a 58-acre tract previously belonging to the West Virginia Industrial School for Boys after Grafton Cemetery reached capacity.
The Industrial School for Boys monument, erected in 1992, stands as a granite memorial to residents buried at the site between 1890 and 1939.
The cemetery operates daily from dawn until dusk, with administrative offices open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM except federal holidays.
In 2010, the cemetery received the remains of Private First Class Lawrence Harris, who had been missing for 66 years after his tank destroyer exploded in France.
