Lindenwood Cemetery's landmark design reimagines burial spaces as enduring community memory and landscape.
Lindenwood Cemetery in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is one of the state's earliest examples of large park-like burial grounds. Established in 1859, it followed in the footsteps of the great "rural" or "garden" cemeteries Père Lachaise in Paris (1804) and Mount Auburn in Cambridge, Massachusetts (1831). Such cemeteries were designed as long-term solutions to the small churchyards that could not keep pace with the rapidly growing nineteenth century cities. Historic Lindenwood Cemetery chronicles its history as well as many of the over 74,000 interred who left their mark, whether great or small. This book features nearly 100 beautiful photographs along with history to illustrate the gravesites of notable area citizens.
