Cold Harbor National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Mechanicsville, United States.
Cold Harbor National Cemetery spans 1.4 acres of land in Hanover County, containing 2,110 graves marked by white headstones in organized rows.
The cemetery was established in 1866 to inter Union soldiers recovered from battlefields within a 22-mile radius during post-Civil War recovery operations.
The marble sarcophagus erected in 1877 and the Pennsylvania Monument, a 30-foot granite spire, memorialize fallen soldiers from the Civil War period.
The cemetery grounds, located at the junction of VA 156 and 619, remain open to visitors interested in studying military history and genealogy.
Sergeant Major Augustus Barry, a Medal of Honor recipient, served as the first superintendent and is now interred within the cemetery grounds.
