Gorgeous cemetery to pay your respects. While this cemetery is in an area with lots of activity and traffic, the moment I step into the grounds it is relaxing and peaceful. The grounds are well cared for and clean. There's enough people around at all times but also spread out enough to where I feel safe yet not crowded. Visitors appear respectful.
I love the history of this cemetery. So many giant head stones. Quite a few Obolisks. Its unfortunate that modern day cemeteries are so bland. This place definitely has character. If you haven't visited I recommend doing so. I come here because my Great Grand Father Herman Reichart is buried here. He passed away in 1938. He's the reason my family is in the United States of America. Thank you Great Grand Father!
A well maintained cemetery just minutes from Miller Park. This cemetery is the resting place for one of Milwaukee's founding fathers, Solomon Juneau. It's also the resting place for practically the entire Miller family (Beer Barons) as they have a large family plot. If you stand at the mausoleum on the hill and look over the cemetery on a snowy day it's a beautiful sight. Pick up a map as you enter for locations.
