The Civil War-Era National Cemeteries Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPD) facilitates the individual nomination of Civil War-era cemeteries. Many contain the fine architectural examples of a prototype design of lodges that were executed in various local building materials from the same floor plan. The prototype lodges were designed by a significant person associated with facilities during and after the war, Brigadier General Montgomery C. Meigs, Quartermaster General of the Army from 1861 – 1882. Many national cemeteries were established on or near specific Civil War conflict sites. For each of these sixteen cemeteries (twelve in Virginia), an information sheet is attached, which includes the name and date of the conflict, background information on the establishment of the cemetery, and Civil War monuments or memorials within the cemetery.
