Why you should go…

Part arboretum, part sculpture garden, part history book, this Victorian-era cemetery is one of Cleveland's most surprising attractions. Climb the ornate James A. Garfield Memorial for sweeping city views, find John D. Rockefeller's obelisk, and step inside Wade Chapel to see an interior designed entirely by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Free, peaceful, and unforgettable.
