History

First established in 1862 as a cemetery for nearby Camp Crittenden, the Union supply depot in Lebanon, and the military hospitals in the area. It was designated a National Cemetery in 1867. Two donations of land in the 1980s expanded the cemetery to its current size. A 2.8 acre portion of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, as Lebanon National Cemetery. Numerous Union soldiers who died in the Battle of Perryville are interred there.
