Mt Auburn Cemetery--Historic Garden Cemetery

Hi all, I finally made it over to Mt. Auburn Cemetery the other day with a dear friend. We walked amid the paths, oohed and aahed over the cherry trees, crab apples, and magnolias--all in magnificent bloom.

Here is what the web site says about the site:

Mount Auburn Cemetery has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of the Interior, recognizing it as one of the country's most significant cultural landscapes. Founded in 1831, it was the first large-scale designed landscape open to the public in the United States. Today its beauty, historical associations and horticultural collections are internationally renowned.
