High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Togus National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located at Togus, a facility operated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at Chelsea in Kennebec County, Maine. It encompasses 31.2 acres, and as of the end of 2005, had 5,373 interments. It is closed to new interments.Named for an Algonquian Native American word for mineral water, the area the cemetery currently resides on was once a hotel and resort known as Togus Springs. The resort failed as a business due to the outbreak of the Civil War, and its owner died shortly thereafter. The federal government purchased the property for the sum of 50,000 dollars and established a veteran care facility there. The first veterans were admitted on November 10, 1866. The facility was expanded and eventually had the capacity for 3,000 veterans.
