Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum

The 200-acre grounds feature more than 15,000 trees, various plant species, stone monuments, and mausoleums across rolling landscapes and winding paths.

Founded in 1841, the cemetery gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural elements and connection to Civil War generals.

The cemetery contains the final resting place of Paul Laurence Dunbar, an influential African American poet who shaped literary traditions in Ohio.

Visitors can access the cemetery grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through the main office near the entrance gate.

The site combines the roles of cemetery, botanical garden, and outdoor museum, hosting educational programs about native trees and local history throughout the year.
