About Andersonville National Cemetery
Andersonville National Cemetery is run by the National Park Service as a place of honor for people who died in military service. Its earliest graves were trench burials of prisoners who died at the nearby Civil War prison camp, beginning in 1864. Visitors can walk among the long rows of markers and read about the cemetery's purpose before arriving. The grounds are part of the wider Andersonville National Historic Site, which also includes the former prison and a prisoner of war museum. Burial remains available only to eligible veterans and their families, and visitors are asked to follow posted rules that keep the grounds calm and respectful.
