Mount Auburn Cemetery was the first step in the Rural Cemetery Movement. This Massachusetts Cemetery is nearly 200 years old and has seen a lot of American history, which means there are many notable burials here. The idea behind creating garden-like rural cemeteries was to give the public a beautiful and peaceful place to find inspiration, to visit their dead and to enjoy a park setting with the family. Come with us as we explore this cemetery movement and the extraordinary cemetery that started it all!
