Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses less than 4050 square meters (1 acre), and as of 2014 had approximately 1,700 interments. It is closed to new interments. HistoryLexington National Cemetery was originally a military section of the Lexington Cemetery which was first used to inter American Civil War casualties in 1861. After the war, several makeshift battlefield cemeteries had their remains moved to Lexington. In 1863, the lot was officially designated a National Cemetery, and in 1867, an additional 1500 square meters (0.38 acres) were purchased by the federal government to increase the lot to its current size. Lexington National Cemetery was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1][2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2007a}} 2. ^{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=98001135}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Lexington National Cemetery |publisher=National Park Service|author=Therese T.
