Culpeper National Cemetery was established in 1867 as a six-acre burying ground in the town of Culpeper, Virginia. The cemetery has been expanded several times in the late 20th century. More than 22 acres were added to the property in order to provide burial space to veterans. About 7,500 people are interred at the cemetery, in the aftermath of the Civil War and due to the development of Culpeper. There is a number of important monuments in the cemetery. The markers dedicated to regiments from those states who had members of regiments who died in the Battle of Cedar Mountain were erected by the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The Armed Forces Monument was erected in 1992. In 1988 a memorial was erected to the Unknown burials from the Civil War. The National Military Cemetery monument was constructed from a cast iron artillery tube.
