Zachary Taylor National Cemetery, located in Louisville, Kentucky, is the final resting place of the 12th President of the United States, Zachary Taylor (1784–1850), and his wife, Margaret Mackall Smith Taylor (1788–1852). Originally a family burial ground, it was later designated a national cemetery in 1928. Taylor, a hero of the Mexican-American War, died in office just 16 months into his presidency.

Other notable burials include:

  • Brigadier General James Taylor (1769–1848) – Zachary Taylor’s father, a Revolutionary War officer.
  • Lieutenant General Samuel E. Anderson (1906–1982) – U.S. Air Force officer who played a significant role in World War II and the Korean War.
  • Major General Allan M. Shriver (1916–1978) – U.S. Air Force officer who served in World War II.

The cemetery, managed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, continues to serve as a burial site for veterans and their eligible family members. It is a place of national honor, commemorating military service and sacrifice.
