Arlington National Cemetery, our nations most treasured burial ground, is home to more than 285,000 honored dead. Among the thousands of white headstones are the graves of President John F. Kennedy, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, world champion boxer Joe Louis and the Tomb of the Unknowns.
The Visitors Center, located by the cemetery entrance, is a good place to start, as it provides maps, guidebooks, exhibits, information services (including grave locations), a bookstore, and restrooms. The Visitors Center is also where you can purchase tickets for, and board, the Tourmobile bus that tours the cemetery. |
