Since, its foundation in 1866, Arlington National Cemetery has provided a solemn place for Americans to reflect upon the sacrifices made by these great men and women for this country. It lies on the former grounds of Arlington House, the mansion once owned by George Washington Park Custis, the adopted grandson of President George Custis. In 1864, Arlington House and the land surrounding it was designated as a military cemetery. The first burial at the Arlington National Cemetery was that of Private William Henry Christman of Pennslyvania, who lies in section 27, lot19. Arlington National Cemetery is divided into 70 sections with some sections in the southeast and western parts of the cemetery being reserved for future expansion. The largest structure within Arlington National Cemetery is the memorial Amphitheater which is located on Memorial Drive near the center of the grounds. The amphitheater is used for three major ceremonies every year, the services on Easter, Memorial Day, and Veteran Day. On average there are 28 burials that occur every weekend adding up to approximately 6900 burials each year.
