Woodlawn Cemetery

Established in 1863, this expansive site functions as a living history museum where over 100,000 visitors annually navigate its quiet, well-maintained grounds. Beyond its role as a final resting place, the cemetery serves as a significant site for both botanical and artistic exploration. You can follow the Arboretum trail to wander through an assortment of tree species or inspect the largest collection of funerary art in the country. The architecture here ranges from large, intricate stone pieces to highly detailed mausolea, offering a scenic and largely solitary environment for those interested in the craft and cultural history preserved within these 400 acres.
