Culpeper National Cemetery

The Culpeper National Cemetery spans across 29.6 acres of land, featuring rows of white headstones and a Second Empire Victorian superintendent's lodge from 1872.

Established in 1867, this cemetery became the final resting place for Union soldiers who died during battles near Culpeper, including Cedar Mountain and Chancellorsville.

The cemetery contains monuments from five different states - Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania - honoring their fallen Civil War regiment members.

The cemetery grounds remain accessible from sunrise to sunset daily, with office hours running Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars donated 10.5 acres of adjacent land in 1975, which doubled the cemetery size and provided relief to Arlington National Cemetery.
