Learn about Mount Auburn Cemetery's fascinating history and landscape design. The Cemetery was established in 1831 as a designed landscape of exceptional beauty with the purpose of burying the dead and providing comfort and inspiration to the living. With its founding, Mount Auburn led the rural cemetery movement in this country and provided the landscape pattern for the public parks movement that followed. Today, Mount Auburn is a busy cemetery as a well as a National Historic Landmark, an internationally renowned arboretum and botanical garden, a wildlife sanctuary, important birding site, outdoor museum of commemorative art and architecture, and a beloved natural oasis in the midst of urban development. The Cemetery is known for its breathtaking horticultural beauty and its many historical associations. Led by Meg L. Winslow, Curator of Historical Collections & Archives at Mount Auburn Cemetery. She is responsible for developing and overseeing the Cemetery's permanent collections including more than 3,500 linear feet of archives, a library, historic photographs, works of art, significant artistic monuments on the grounds and stained glass.
