The gorgeous landscape and the peaceful ambiance lend this site its contemplative wonder. I would urge a trip.
This cemetery is gorgeous to walk around. The gravestones are old and fascinating. The sculptures are beautiful and the grounds and trees are amazing.
This is one of the most beautiful places in the Boston area to walk. It is perfectly well kept and has many beautiful sections. It is easy to park, tranquil, and relaxing. THere also are a lot of famous historic people buried there.
Beautiful grounds full of historic graves, lovely landscaping, with hills and valleys, streams and ponds. View of Boston if the leaves have fallen. A great walk on a sunny day!
Well, you might not think of a cemetery as the first place that comes to mind for a beautiful outdoors experience in an urban setting, but Mount Auburn Cemetery will change that opinion in just one visit. For a first visit check it out near Lilac Sunday in May when most all of the flwoering shrubs are on full display. This is also one of the premiere birding locations within the entire state of Massachusetts
I grew up in Cambridge, and as a schoolboy went bird-watching in the cemetery. The extensive plantings encourage a variety of birds to stop over, and I am sure many nest in the cemetery as well.There are many interesting monuments and graves of famous and not-so-famous people to admire, and the landscaping is lovely.One note: bicycle riding is not permitted in the cemetery.
it s a beautiful cemetery. and from the top of the tower there's a lovely view of Boston. super nice walk, and birds of all kinds around!
Incredible landscaping from the founder of modern American landscape design. Don't miss the pond and above it the Washington Tower, open from April through October
Find a beautiful Spring day, stop by the office for a map, and take a hike. Bring good shoes, even a picnic lunch. And discover the history of this classic American cemetery.
Mt. Auburn Cemetery is a terrific place to walk in every season. Trees (many unusual) are varied, labeled and lovely, especially in spring. Monuments are interesting works of art. Ponds are pretty and peaceful. Climbing tower offers a great view. We're lucky to have this gem of the Boston area.
