About Fort Custer National Cemetery

Fort Custer National Cemetery sits on former Camp Custer land in Kalamazoo County, Michigan. Congress created it in 1981, and the first burial took place in 1982. The grounds hold a memorial pathway with dozens of monuments donated by veterans groups, a carillon, and an Avenue of Flags along the main road. Visitors can walk the paved roads, and the cemetery is open daily from dawn to dusk.
