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:
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
