Fort McPherson National Cemetery

Fort McPherson, Originally called Cantonment McKean, was established in 1863 as an outpost to protect travellers along the Oregon and California Trails, and to keep the peace with the local Native Americans. In 1866, it was renamed for Major General James B. McPherson, who was killed in action at the Battle of Atlanta in 1864. A cemetery was created along with the fort. In 1873, 20 acres (8.1 ha) were set aside to be a National Cemetery, and the remains interred in the original post cemetery were moved to it.

Twenty-three cemeteries were moved from abandoned frontier forts to Fort McPherson; the last of these was moved from Fort Robinson when it was closed in 1947.
