I've been to Arlington, Evergreen and others, and this one wins for beauty of setting and monuments. Unbelievable that it's in the heart of Toledo bordering I75. I've taken pictures here during winter that boggle the mind. Unfortunate that it's in such a decaying area of Toledo, though decay has touched the cemetery rather lightly.

Many of Toledo's founders are found here. It is very interesting just to drive through and read the names on the tomb stones. It is also a very pretty setting.

Well, it seems odd but this cemetery actually could be deemed an attraction. It holds the creme de la creme of Toledo's elite during it's historical heyday. It is especially beautiful in the spring when blooming. Genealogists (those tracing family roots) would probably be most fascinated.

They say you can't take it with you. Well many of Toledos wealthiest families have done a good job trying. Beautiful monuments in a peaceful setting. They have special walks around the grounds just go to their website.

If you enjoy cemetary tourism, or cemetary art this historical cemetary will NOT disappoint!! I have been to many respected cemetaries all over the USA (places such as Key Wests cemetary), and feel this historical cemetary is rival to the more famous cemetaries. Woodlawn is populated with beautiful tombstones, markers, and artwork that will impress. Check the official website for... More
