Beautiful monument and landscaping. Very interesting place to visit, but were there early winter and the inside was closed for winter. We will visit on our return visit in the spring.
remarkable building at Lakeview Cemetery. learn more about President Garfield - quite interesting. also quite near to where John D. Rockefeller is buried
This is a significant place because of the tribute to James Garfield and for the interesting art and architecture on display. The highlight, however, for me is going to the top and viewing Lake Erie and the City of Cleveland. It is gorgeous in any season. As part of a visit to Lakeview Cemetery, this is a can't miss in Cleveland.
This monument was quite impressive. The view from the top was very nice. It was nice that they had a "guide" there that gave you the history of the monument and the president (we are Canadian so we don't know a lot about all fo the presidents.)
This is a bit of a drive from downtown but worth it. The Monument is very impressive with a beautiful golden dome and a statue of the president. The crypt below is rather grim, but the monument is quite stunning. And the entire cemetery is worth the visit.
It's not a fantastic work, but it is interesting if you happen to be in the area and perhaps a history buff. Go to see Wade Chapel which is phenomenal and in the same cemetery less than 1/4 mile away.
Came here on a Lolley the Trolley tour of Lakeview. The stained glass windows inside were beautiful. Well worth stopping in. The ceiling was also spectacular!
Very beautiful monument. It was closed on our first stop, so we made a point to stop by the next day and I'm glad we did. Well worth it!
Beautiful monument dedicated to President James A. Garfield located in beautiful Lakeview Cemetery. Great view of downtown from the balcony. Make sure you check their schedule because they close the monument during the winter months. Make sure you check out Wade Chapel while at the cemetery.
If you are looking for quite in the midst of noise, beauty any season or a great view of the skyline, this is the place to be. The Monument is beautiful,and a tribute to not only someone who most definitely would have proved himself a great president, but also a tribute to the citizens of the Great Sate of Ohio who's funds built the Monument. There is a volunteer on staff that is able to answer any questions you might have. A real gem.
