Arlington National Cemetery Tram Tour
The Arlington National Cemetery Tram Tour is a great opportunity to learn about the figures who served the United States and reflect on Washington's history and America's growth. Explore over 600 acres of sacred land, once owned by George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son of George Washington. Since its first military burial on May 13, 1864, the cemetery has served various purposes, including as a Union Army camp and headquarters during the Civil War, and a sanctuary for formerly enslaved people seeking freedom after emancipation. Today, it is the final resting place for over 400,000 active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. Visit three key locations to honor the heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country, and enjoy a comfortable tour of the entire cemetery by tram.
