Wreaths Across America 2026 at Andersonville National Cemetery

Each December, Andersonville National Historic Site participates in the Wreaths Across America program as a special way to honor and remember the sacrifice of military service members during the holiday season. Wreaths sponsored through the nonprofit Wreaths Across America organization are delivered to and placed on gravesites in national cemeteries across the country, including Andersonville National Cemetery. Sponsored wreaths can be designated for placement on the specific grave of a loved one, or left undesignated and placed on one of thousands of gravesites that otherwise may not be visited or honored.

With the invaluable help and support of Bennett International, the Taylor Family Foundation, Wreaths Across America, Friends of Andersonville, the American Ex-Prisoners of War, and other partners, thousands of wreaths are brought to Andersonville National Cemetery each year. Our shared goal is to honor each of the over 20,000 gravesites in the cemetery with a wreath.
