Visit Fort Stanton Cemetery, New Mexico
Selected for its healthful climate, Fort Stanton served as a tuberculosis hospital for the Merchant Marines, hosting some 5,000 sailor patients between 1899 and 1953, 1,500 of whom are buried in the Maritime Cemetery on a hillside overlooking the Fort. On Oct. 2, 2015, the Department of Veterans Affairs approved the state’s application and awarded a $5.7 million grant to build a State Veterans’ cemetery at Fort Stanton which officially opened on November 6, 2017.
