The site is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission, and its dedication ceremony was held on Memorial Day, May 30, 1937.

The cemetery itself is laid out in the form of the capital letter T, with the Memorial Chapel crowning the T-shape on a small hill to south, the cross-bars making up the two burial plots and the pathway leading into the cemetery making up the stem of the letter-shape.

[1] The Memorial Chapel is built over the site of front-line battle trenches dug in defense of Belleau Wood.

When entering the Memorial Chapel, one can see on the wall to the right a small hole that was made by a passing German anti-tank gun.
