Fairmount Cemetery, Cemetery in Denver, United States
Fairmount Cemetery is a cemetery in Denver, United States. It covers a large area with winding paths, mature trees, and a mix of upright headstones and flat markers, and it is bordered by busy streets.
Fairmount Cemetery was established in the late 19th century as Denver grew. It was designed as a rural cemetery, a style that moved burial grounds away from city centers and incorporated landscaping.
The cemetery is a place where local families come to remember their ancestors, and you might see small flags and flowers left at graves. The layout follows a garden style, with lawns and trees that make it feel like a park.
The grounds are open daily from morning until evening, and visitors can enter through several gates. A car is helpful because the site is large, and a map at the entrance helps with orientation.
The cemetery is the final resting place of several notable figures from Denver's history, including governors and business leaders. Its grounds also contain a number of old trees that are among the oldest in the city.
