Description

Established in the late 19th century by the U.S. Navy specifically for foreign burials, this historic cemetery offers visitors yet another glimpse into the island's past. Despite suffering damage during the devastating 2009 earthquake and tsunami, the cemetery has undergone careful restoration, preserving its historical integrity for future generations. The site's significance is officially recognised through its listing on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, making it one of American Samoa's most important cultural landmarks. The weathered headstones and monuments create a peaceful atmosphere for quiet reflection, while the cemetery's elevated position provides glimpses of the surrounding Pago Pago Harbor.
