Elmwood Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Detroit, United States
Elmwood Cemetery contains 86 acres of land with a stream, rolling hills, and thousands of monuments reflecting Detroit's architectural evolution over time.
The cemetery, established in 1846, became the first fully racially integrated burial ground in the Midwest, accommodating residents of all backgrounds and beliefs.
The Gothic Revival gatehouse and chapel, along with monuments dedicated to Civil War veterans and firefighters, represent Detroit's architectural and social heritage.
The cemetery opens from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM during winter months and 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM in summer, with guided tours available by appointment.
Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted designed the cemetery grounds in 1890, incorporating elements from Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
