Crown Hill Cemetery
Crown Hill Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Indianapolis, United States.
Crown Hill Cemetery extends across 555 acres of rolling terrain, featuring 25 miles of paved roads and over 150 tree species throughout its grounds.
The cemetery began operations in 1863 when local businessmen purchased a 166-acre farm to create additional burial space as Greenlawn Cemetery reached capacity.
The cemetery serves as the final resting place for President Benjamin Harrison, poet James Whitcomb Riley, and numerous Indiana governors and legislators.
