Seven Pines National Cemetery

Seven Pines National Cemetery spans 1.9 acres in Virginia, featuring organized rows of white headstones marking military graves and a Second Empire style entrance.

The cemetery was established in 1866 to provide a permanent resting place for Union soldiers who died during the Battle of Seven Pines in 1862.

The grounds contain 1,216 unidentified and 141 identified soldiers from the Civil War, reflecting the military burial practices of the nineteenth century.

The cemetery grounds remain open daily from sunrise to sunset, with staff members available during regular office hours on weekdays except federal holidays.

Seven pine trees were intentionally planted along the interior wall in 1869, establishing the symbolic foundation for the cemetery's current name.
