NPS

You are now at Glendale National Cemetery, established in 1866. The soldiers laid to rest here were originally buried on nearby battlefields — including Glendale, Malvern Hill, and other sites within a 15-mile radius before being reinterred in this national cemetery. While Richmond National Battlefield Park has preserved over 685 acres of land associated with the Battle of Glendale (also known as the Battle of Frayser’s Farm) these battlefield grounds and surrounding areas are not currently open to the public.
