Baton Rouge National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Baton Rouge, United States.
The Baton Rouge National Cemetery spans 7.7 acres of land with organized rows of white headstones marking the final resting place of military personnel.
Established in 1867, the cemetery contains graves of soldiers from the Civil War period, with initial burials dating back to 1830.
The Massachusetts Monument, constructed in 1909, stands as a memorial to officers and soldiers from Massachusetts who perished in the Department of the Gulf.
The cemetery opens daily from sunrise to sunset, while the administrative office operates Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM.
The brick wall surrounding the cemetery has a notable history, as its initial contractors succumbed to yellow fever during its construction in 1878.
