Arlington Cemetery (Washington Metro)
Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARL : Arlington Cemetery (Washington Metro)
Arlington Cemetery is a Washington Metro station in Arlington, Virginia on the Blue Line.
The station is located in the center of Arlington Cemetery, near Memorial Drive. This is possibly the only station which does not primarily serve commuters, as its only major use is to visit the Cemetery and its various monuments and memorials. There is no public parking anywhere near the center except at the Cemetery, which is reserved for visitors. It is also the only station that closes earlier than the rest of the system. Service began on July 1, 1977.
