"Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum" Top 5 Page for this destination Cincinnati Off The Beaten Path Tip by BeatChick

Spring Grove Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Cincinnati & the oldest, too, holding Revolutionary War & Civil War & subsequent war veterans & generals (you'll find a printable map located on their website listed below).

Spring Grove was patterned after Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris with its huge grounds, statuary, mausoleums & crypts & winding paths, where Oscar Wilde & Jim Morrison are buried, .

I came here one wintry day in early January 2005 to take some black & white photos, which I think set off settings that are dreary such as this day & the fact that it's a cemetery.

Besides its historical quality, Spring Grove is also beneficial in studying genealogy, so please do contact them via the website. This is also an excellent home to choose as your final resting place.

My friend, fellow VTer MadAboutParis, is preparing to be a docent for the cemetery!
