Bellefontaine Cemetery & Arboretum, the other sculpture garden…

Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum

You have possibly heard about the history of the famous, or infamous, folks so now hear about the art & architecture that can be discovered within the cemetery’s walls. This walking tour will introduce you to the stories of the stones themselves. Our Master Guides will lead this 2-hour walking tour past beautiful statuary, artists that have been laid to rest at Bellefontaine, and even into some wonderful examples of architecture. ♦ Tours will cover about 2 miles across moderate terrain over both pavement and grass. ♦ Please wear appropriate walking attire. ♦ Space is limited, and reservations are required. ♦ Please 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.
