    It’s good walking. Guided tours are offered and informative.Footpaths designed by Increase A. Lapham.Valhalla for a bunch of high society families. Makes it a curiosity and more than a little haunted.

    One of the best historical cemeteries in the country. If you visit Milwaukee, you truly should visit this graveyard. I know, it sounds strange to say, come to Milwaukee see the sites, come visit some graves. But the people in these graves truly built Milwaukee. You got Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst, Davidson (w/out Harley), General, Billy Mitchell, the Werwath Family (founders of MSOE), Usinger,, famous actors, countless politicians, and many people who have streets named after them. Plus the place just looks really cool.
