About this episode

This episode explores the history and significance of Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. Horticulturist Adolph Strauch pioneered the "lawn plan" design when Spring Grove was established in 1845. This was a continuing effort to keep graveyards beautiful and inviting. This cemetery is the final resting place for many of Cincinnati's prominent historical figures and a living tree museum. The interior architecture has lead to it being recognized as a US National Historic Landmark.
