An active military cemetery, Quantico is not exactly a tourist hotspot. Military history buffs, however, may stop by to see the Edson's Raiders monument, a Commonwealth of Virginia memorial, and memorials for other Marine Corps units. Notable burials include Louis Lowery, who took the iconic photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima, and Frederick Branch, first African-American officer in the Marine Corps.
Quantico National Cemetery, officially the National Memorial Cemetery at Quantico, is a national cemetery in Triangle, Virginia for veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces. Adjacent to and originally part of Marine Corps Base Quantico, it was established as a national cemetery in 1983 with an area of 725 acres (293 ha).

This well-developed museum is actually one of the best in the area, including D.C. proper. It is dedicated to Marine Corps history, but also American military history more generally. Some of the exhibits are not very child-friendly, with more graphic and violent imagery.
