Philadelphia National Cemetery, located in North Philadelphia, was established in 1862 at which time civil war and other veterans buried elsewhere were moved here. This is the final resting place of 66 Buffalo Soldiers, One Medal of Honor winner, and 180 Confederate soldiers, among others. There are remains here from all American wars, from the Revolution to Vietnam. The cemetery is full and has been closed to new interments for some time. Photos by Kat Fialkowski.
