 A cultural resource and a veritable outdoor museum, Woodlawn Cemetery has been an active, 400-acre, non-sectarian cemetery from its inception in 1863. The cemetery was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011 by the National Parks Service. Its celebrated lot owners comprise artists and writers, business moguls, civic leaders, entertainers, jazz musicians, suffragists, and more. The cemetery’s unrivaled collection of monuments—including over 1300 mausoleums– were designed by legendary American architects, landscape designers, and sculptors. Out of respect for those who rest here, they strictly limit the type of recreational activities permitted. Check the website for guidedgroup tour opportunities.
