Bellefontaine Cemetery, the other sculpture garden You've heard the history of the famous, or infamous, folks.  Now hear about the art and architecture within the cemetery's walls.  This tour will introduce you to the stories of the stones themselves. With a focus on sculpture, you will be led on a 2-hour walking tour past beautiful statuary, artists  laid to rest at Bellefontaine, and even into some wonderful examples of architecture. Space is limited and reservations are required. Tours will cover about 2 miles across moderate terrain.  Appropriate attire suggested for this walk which will sometimes take you off the paved paths.  We ask that everyone arrive between 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure. Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted.

Spend the morning with your kids exploring nature and learning some St. Louis history.  Guide Angela, of Green Spiral Tours, will offer bite size pieces of information on what's below ground at this hallowed place while allowing young ones the chance to take in and wonders of what's above! The cemetery is an Arboretum with over 6,500 trees, butterfly gardens, and water features with playful stepping stones amidst native plantings. Bring a sack lunch to picnic together like families of the Victorian era. This tour is a mixture of driving and walking across some moderate terrain.  Please wear appropriate walking attire. We ask everyone to arrive between 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure.  Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted.
