About Loudon Park National Cemetery

Loudon Park National Cemetery sits in southwest Baltimore and is run by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It began inside a private cemetery and was one of the original national cemeteries created in 1862. Many early burials came from Baltimore hospitals and nearby Civil War sites. The grounds hold several historic monuments, including the Maryland Sons Monument, which dates to 1885. The cemetery is now closed to most new burials, though it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
