Caravan Tour Join us for a guided caravan tour! Drive along in your car and follow the caravan led by our Master Guide Cathleen. We will drive to a few different locations inside historic Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. At each location, we will all exit our vehicles and Cathleen will give us a tour through history! The adventure begins with a drive to our serene Wildwood Valley Gardens. We will walk the Gardens and visit the impressive Cascade Mausoleum, our newest mausoleum. The next stop is Prospect Avenue. The "movers and shakers" of the 1900s are buried there. The last stop is the area surrounding explorer William Clark's plot. This caravan tour is a unique way to explore the grounds and learn about some of the people memorialized at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. ♦   Space is limited and reservations are required ♦   Please wear appropriate outdoor walking attire as we will explore different areas upon leaving our vehicles. ♦   Walking terrain is mild with a mixture of hard and soft surfaces ♦   We ask that everyone arrive 15 to 20 minutes before tour time for a prompt departure ♦   This is a rain or shine event except in the case of extreme lightning REGISTER NOW!

1904 World's Fair and Bellefontaine Cemetery Over 120 years ago, St. Louis welcomed 20 million visitors to the Grandest of World’s Fairs from April 30 through December 1, 1904. David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was vital in securing this event for the City of St. Louis. All eyes turned to St. Louis as the new century was on display in the fair’s larger-than-life palaces, and new technology was front and center throughout the Fair Grounds. In our presentation, we will identify and explain some of the key figures in the creation and execution of the 1904 World’s Fair. Those who are featured in these presentations are forever at rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. Make it a date night, a family night, or enjoy the presentation by yourself. Reservations are required, so please sign up today! REGISTER NOW! MAKE A GIFT Tours are free, however, donations to the Friends of Bellefontaine Cemetery are gratefully accepted.
