Dedicated in 1838, Mount Hope is America’s first municipal Victorian cemetery. Set in a picturesque landscape shaped by retreating glaciers, the cemetery contains priceless pieces of art and rare horticultural specimens. 

It is the final resting place of many dignified and internationally known individuals, including Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, and is on the National Park Services National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.

Riverside Cemetery was constructed in 1892 to be a natural arboretum. With its rolling hills and natural beauty, the cemetery was designed to provide a serene landscape that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveys an assurance of permanence. 

Unique local legends and heroes are laid to rest within a horticultural dream, resplendent with untold varieties of trees, plants and flowers.
