Join us in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery on Memorial Day to honor the men and women who gave their lives in military service to the United States and reflect on the history of this hallowed space that tells their stories.

The event will begin at 10 am with a short 15-minute ceremony in the cemetery, including a playing of taps and the presentation of the colors of the 23rd USCT living history group. From 10:15 am to 4 pm park staff will be stationed in the cemetery to share stories about the history of Memorial Day in Fredericksburg and facilitate remembrance activities to honor those who lost their lives in service to the United States. Golf carts will be available to facilitate access up to the cemetery.

Join staff at 10:30 am and 2 pm for walking tours of the Sunken Road.
