Green Mount Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Baltimore, United States
Green Mount Cemetery extends across rolling hills with Gothic Revival structures, including a hilltop chapel and elaborate entrance gateway designed by notable architects.
Founded in 1839 as Baltimore's first rural cemetery, Green Mount Cemetery originated from the former country estate of merchant Robert Oliver.
The cemetery contains graves of significant figures including Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, and Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, reflecting Baltimore's social and economic development.
Visitors can obtain detailed maps from the office and participate in guided tours that highlight the cemetery's notable monuments and historical significance.
Pennies frequently appear on the grave of John Wilkes Booth, as visitors place Lincoln-faced coins on the burial site of Abraham Lincoln's assassin.
