Open Doors

Step into the secrets of the past with an afternoon exploring some of the Cemetery’s most impressive and elaborate nineteenth-century mausoleums. Peek beyond the ornate gates of these stately stone structures to view exquisite stained glass, intricate architecture, and some curious surprises. At each location, docents will offer a glimpse into the lives of the personalities who now rest in these opulent edifices. It’s the one day a year when you can learn the mysteries of mausoleums usually closed to the public, so don’t miss out!
