Cave Hill Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in Louisville, United States
Cave Hill Cemetery extends across 296 acres, featuring winding paths, lakes in valleys, and more than 500 species of trees and shrubs throughout the grounds.
The cemetery received its charter from the Kentucky General Assembly in 1848, transforming the former Cave Hill Farm into a dedicated burial ground.
The property maintains records of over 127,000 memorials, including notable figures such as Muhammad Ali and Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Harland Sanders.
Visitors can access the cemetery through the main entrance on Baxter Avenue or the secondary entrance on Grinstead Drive between 8:00 AM and 4:45 PM daily.
The middle fork of Beargrass Creek flows through the cemetery grounds, connecting to a natural cave that provided water to the original farmhouse.
