The Jefferson Barracks Military Post is located on the Mississippi River at Lemay, Missouri, south of St. Louis. It was an important and highly active U.S. Army installation from 1826 through 1946. It is the oldest operating U.S. military installation west of the Mississippi River, and it is now used as a base for the Army and Air National Guard.
On July 10, 1826, two days after the deed to the land was signed, the first military troops—six officers and 245 enlisted men of Companies A, B, H and I, commanded by Brevet Major Stephen Watts Kearny—arrived at the new post and started building temporary quarters that they named Cantonment Miller in honor of Governor Miller. In 1827 the military post was formally named Jefferson Barracks in honor of Thomas Jefferson who had died the year before. Even William Clark's son, Meriwether Lewis Clark, Sr., would join the ranks of Jefferson Barracks. It was also designated the first "Infantry School of Practice."

Funeral procession for fallen local Marine arrives at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
ST. LOUIS - A somber procession wound its way through the St. Louis area Thursday afternoon as Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz's remains were escorted from St. Charles County to his final resting place at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
People lined up all along the 31-mile route. They waved flags, saluted and paused to thank the Marine for his service.

Big Bucks of Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery is located along the Mississippi River in St. Louis County and it’s the final resting place for over 200,000 service men and women. As the natural habitat of the surrounding area has decreased dramatically over the years, the cemetery has become a refuge for the local whitetail deer herd. Jefferson Barracks is a peaceful location where one can prayerfully honor those who served our country, and while doing so, there’s a good chance you’ll see some impressive deer, including some real giants! Check out these big bucks, including a monster buck, as they get fired up for the deer rut.

With the hospital came the need for a cemetery. The Jefferson Barracks post burial grounds had been in use since August 1827. By the time of the Civil War, more than 600 soldiers and civilians had been buried there. The national cemetery, established in 1866, was expanded beyond the post cemetery. By 1869, it contained more than 10,000 graves, the majority known. Among those interred were 1,106 Confederate prisoners of war.
Two Civil War Medal of Honor recipients are buried here. Pvt. Martin Schubert, 26th New York Infantry, picked up the colors and carried them until he was wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 13, 1862.
Corp. Lorenzo D. Immell, 2nd U.S. Artillery, gathered abandoned cannon and continued to fire on Confederates at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek, Missouri, August 10, 1861.
