Santa Fe National Cemetery, Santa Fe

The Santa Fe National Cemetery sits on a scenic hillside and overlooks much of Santa Fe. The rows of white crosses climbing the manicured lawns are truly a sight to behold. The oldest grave markers denote the final resting sites of soldiers killed during the Civil War, during the battles of Valverde and Pidgeon Ranch. Those who died in armed conflict during World War II are also buried here. A number of monuments and memorials commemorate those who gave their lives for their country. The cemetery is open from sunrise to sunset, and the office is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
