About Santa Fe National Cemetery

Santa Fe National Cemetery sits within Santa Fe city limits, about a mile northwest of the main plaza. It is run by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and is open to visitors daily during daylight hours. Its grounds hold rows of headstones and monuments honoring people who served the nation. The site also includes burials of Navajo Code Talkers, Buffalo Soldiers, and Medal of Honor recipients, and memorials to World War II glider pilots, women who served in the Navy, and Civil War Confederate dead from the Battle of Glorieta Pass. Its history reaches back to Civil War-era reinterments and to the city's Spanish colonial past.
