Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway
Danville National Cemetery, KY

At the beginning of the Civil War, the federal government appropriated 18 cemetery lots from the town of Danville on this site. The soldiers’ lot was established as a National Cemetery in 1862. Most of the original interments were Union soldiers who died at the hospital in Danville. A Confederate lot in the city cemetery with 66 interments adjoins the Danville National Cemetery.
