Danville National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in the city of Danville, in Boyle County, Kentucky. It is a 0.3-acre (1,200 m2) plot within Bellevue Cemetery, and as of the end of 2005, it had 394 interments. It is currently closed to new interments.

History

When the American Civil War started, the federal government appropriated 18 cemetery lots from what was then Danville City Cemetery. The small lot was designated a National Cemetery in 1862. It is divided into six sections, five of which are for the interment of soldiers, and the other for civilians. The original interments were Union soldiers who died while under care in military hospitals in Danville. A Confederate lot in the city cemetery with 66 interments is next to Danville National Cemetery.
