ABMC is currently collecting and analyzing visitor data to determine the most appropriate measures to ensure a meaningful, safe, and respectful experience for all our guests at Normandy American Cemetery.
We anticipate a free reservation system will be in place at the end of 2026 for visit beginning in the summer of 2027. More information will be available for how to plan your visit using the system in advance of implementation.
As we work to develop these new procedures, ABMC has adopted the following principles to help guide the process in alignment with our mission:
- Honor the fallen by safeguarding the meaningful, solemn, and respectful environment that is appropriate for a commemorative site;
- Support accessibility by welcoming all who wish to visit through a balance of visitation and capacity; and
- Preserve this site for the future by maintaining the cemetery to the highest standards, ensuring its dignity endures for generations to come.
