Review & FAQ:
Located on the site of a major Civil War battle, which is recorded as the Siege of Port Hudson, the Port Hudson National Cemetery is the final resting place of at least 4000 men who perished during the battle. After the war the cemetery was extended and eventually became a national cemetery for U.S. veterans. The cemetery retains all its battleground features, and many of the men were simply buried in the trenches where they fell. The historic building which now serves as the administration building was once home to the cemetery caretaker. The cemetery is a peaceful place where visitors are invited to come and pay tribute to all the men who lost their lives pursuing freedom for all.
