Built in 1834, Bangor’s 300 acre Mount Hope Cemetery is the nation’s second oldest garden cemetery. It was designed by renowned architect Charles G. Bryant as part of a national movement to provide respite from grassless urban landscapes. Garden cemeteries were created as much for living as for those who had passed on.
This tour meets at the Superintendent’s Lodge at Mt. Hope Cemetery, 1048 State Street, Bangor.
