Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery opened for operation in December 1976 and has utilized approximately 4,721 of the 14,000 available burial sites. Donated by the citizens of Dorchester County, the site was formerly a 35-acre wheat field. The design of this cemetery is unique.
The layout of the burial sites is based on a system of radials and concentric circles centered on the American flag in the plaza area at the Chapel.
