Forest Hills Cemetery
Our annual cemetery trip this year takes us to Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain. This cemetery is beautiful any time of year but rumor has it that the fall is one of the best. Early arrival will give us the opportunity to take advantage of morning light. Please note: Since this is going on the calendar a couple of months early, the start time for this event is tentative. As the date gets closer, we'll take weather conditions into consideration and may make a change to an afternoon shoot if need be. Rain date will be Sunday, October 24th. Please monitor your email as the date grows closer. ABOUT FOREST HILLS CEMETERY Forest Hills Cemetery is one of the finest examples of the rural cemetery garden in the United States. It was designed in 1848 to provide a magnificent park-like setting to bury and remember family and friends. Today, Forest Hills is still an active burial ground; it is also a historic site, an open-air museum, and a 275-acre greenspace and arboretum. The distinctive Victorian landscape design features meandering paths, scenic vistas, and a lovely small lake. Many prominent historic and cultural figures are buried here, including inventors, entrepreneurs, civic leaders, artists, and social activists. Some examples are abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, suffragist Lucy Stone, poets Anne Sexton and ee cummings, playwright Eugene O'Neill, and sculptor Martin Milmore.
