Birmingham's oldest and most historically significant cemetery, dating to 1871 — the same year the city was founded. Several of Birmingham's founding fathers are buried here, as are notable figures from the city's industrial, political, and cultural history. The Victorian-era gravestones and family monuments are architecturally interesting, and the hillside setting provides good views of downtown.
A quiet destination for those interested in local history or Victorian cemetery architecture. The cemetery is maintained and open to the public during daylight hours.
