Corinth National Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Along with other sites, it was included in Siege and Battle of Corinth Sites, a National Historic Landmark designated in 1991. This cemetery has space available to accommodate casketed and cremated remains. The dead represented 273 regiments from 15 states. In addition, there are three Confederate interments in the cemetery; one unknown and two known soldiers.

May follow up with new photos soon.
