The Vancouver Barracks served as an active Army post for 162 years, eventually deactivating in 2011. The Vancouver Barracks National Cemetery is one of four cemeteries that have been associated with the post over the course of its history. According to the Army cemeteries website, the first interment there was on Oct. 22, 1849.

It occupies a plot of land just northeast of the intersection of Interstate 5 and East Fourth Plain Boulevard, and includes more than 1,500 gravesites, including U.S. and foreign military personnel, prisoners of war, Native Americans and civilians. It’s the final resting place of at least four Medal of Honor recipients, and pioneering black troops known as the Buffalo Soldiers. More than 200 graves at the site are occupied by people whose names are lost to history.
