Administration and Maintenance
The cemetery is administered by the Hampton National Cemetery in Hampton, Virginia. Cemetery maintenance and upkeep is provided by the Veterans Administration through private contractors. Unlike the nearby Glendale National Cemetery the Richmond National Battlefield Park of the United States Department of the Interior does not maintain the cemetery or utilize its masonry lodge as a visitor's center. The lodge itself is a two story residence with attic and basement similar in design to those in other Civil War era National Cemeteries. It was designed by Montgomery C. Meigs.

Famous quotes containing the word maintenance:
“However patriarchal the world, at home the child knows that his mother is the source of all power. The hand that rocks the cradle rules his world. . . . The son never forgets that he owes his life to his mother, not just the creation of it but the maintenance of it, and that he owes her a debt he cannot conceivably repay, but which she may call in at any time.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
