The Woodlands, Rural cemetery in West Philadelphia, US
The Woodlands spans 54 acres of undulating hills with winding paths, ancient trees, and stone monuments scattered throughout the landscaped grounds.
The cemetery opened in 1840 to preserve Hamilton's estate from industrial development while creating a natural space for burials in Philadelphia.
The grounds contain graves of prominent Philadelphia figures, including architect Paul Philippe Cret, artist Thomas Eakins, and surgeon Samuel Gross.
The cemetery functions as an outdoor space for University City residents, offering daily access from sunrise to sunset for walks and nature observation.
The property maintains seven original English elms and fifteen State Champion status trees, forming a living collection of historical botanical specimens.
