Leonard Matlovich Grave

I love this cemetery! I love watching dogs roam the cemetery. The events are great! Thank you!

My Great, Great, Great, Great Grandad is George Blagden the Elder of Ecclessial Bierlow, Yorkshire England. A master stonemason Blagden was chief stonemason at the US Capitol building site (post British conflagration). Blagden was primarily responsible for the Congressional Cemetery Washington DC.

Very peaceful cemetery with many historical figures.

Beautiful cemetery.... keeping this in mind, it's nice to see dogs walking around with their owners. What would be even nicer is if the owners would ensure their dogs aren't peeing on the tombstones. I saw a dog piss on someone's headstone. Owner was indifferent, I was not. Some people don't get it. Have respect y'all. And if you can't, then take your dog elsewhere to relieve themselves, NOT on other people's loved ones graves. Imagine if someone's dog pissed on your family members. Thanks! ❤️

Beautiful and rather unique cemetery I did not know existed until geocaching the area. People walk their dogs here, and just walk. There are some very unique headstones. The congressional grave markers are very different. Worth a visit.

Beautiful

This was a very interesting place to explore, rich in history. I enjoyed my visit, but I am deducting one star for the dog policy. For several hours per day, they'll allow dogs in the cemetery off-leash. I don't have a problem with that, but I do have a problem with dogs hiking their legs and relieving themselves on the headstones. Aside from that being disrepectful, many of these headstones are very, very old and should be protected from such things.

Amazing place very well kept and great for dogs and families and dates!! Everyone I meet here has been so polite and their dogs are all well behaved! This is my dogs favorite place to visit!

Congressional Cemetery’s off leash dog park was so lovely - and I bet it’s even more beautiful during the cherry blossoms. You can either pay an annual membership fee or pay $15/dog per visit (no cash required, they have Venmo/paypal options with a QR code as you enter the park!)

The Staff is so friendly and professional. They provided me with the precise information I was seeking. I will be forever grateful for their assistance.
