Baltimore National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located along Maryland Route 144 on both sides of the boundary between the neighborhoods of Beechfield in Baltimore City and Catonsville in Baltimore County. It encompasses 72.2 acres (29.2 ha).[2] As of 2022, the cemetery has nearly 46,000 interments.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
