Seven Pines National Cemetery, located in Henrico County, Virginia, is a national cemetery established in 1866 to provide proper burial for Union soldiers originally interred in makeshift graves on the Seven Pines battlefield following the Civil War battle of May 31, 1862. Built in the Second Empire style, the cemetery occupies 1.9 acres near the center of General George B. McClellan's main defense line. The site's name, which predates the cemetery itself, is popularly attributed to seven pine trees planted within the grounds in 1869 near the intersection of the old Williamsburg-Richmond Stage Road and Nine Mile Road. An electric street railway constructed by a company formed in 1888 once facilitated visitor access, though the line has since been removed. The cemetery was designated a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
