The national cemetery in Fort Smith, Arkansas is a beautiful setting or a memorial garden and…read morepavilion, as well as other associated facilities. I have performed as a musician here for several memorial day ceremonies and also Veterans Day ceremonies, etc. The cemetery does a wonderful job and Christmas decorating the stones, and it is well kept and manicured all the time. We are grateful to have a local cemetery of this type for those who have served our nation and each time I come here I am in reverence and awe.

It was reconstructed in 1838 and the original cemetery expanded and repaired. And then in 1861 as the Civil War started, the post changed hands and became a Confederate garrison. During the war, some 400 Confederate soldiers died and were buried here. The cemetery was officially labeled a National Cemetery in 1867 when soldiers who had been buried at nearby battlefields were exhumed and moved here. Today, the cemetery includes more than 1400 unmarked graves belonging to both Union and Confederate soldiers. There are other memorials for more recent engagements including a Vietnam Veterans memorial The cemetery is in excellent condition. Note that the hours of the cemetery are pretty much dawn to dusk, while the office has more traditional hours. Please be respectful when you visit.
