Mount Auburn Cemetery 580 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA 02138

"A quiet walking spot despite its proximity to the busy city. The cemetery has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2003."

"Very calm and beautiful area Very very old graves/tombstonea, found one dating 1700s love the various trees and labeling Foilage is ok but theres quite of variety of plant, even stumbled by a honey bee Tower is cool, oversees the city Free entry and parking not to bad (have to park on the road paths)"

"The most beautiful cemetery I will ever see. The atmosphere is so somber and yet peaceful. We walked an hour and barely covered 40% of the place. The graves are stunning to look at. There’s also so many different kind of flora and birds like eagles and turkeys you don’t see in public places. There’s a tower from where you can see the Boston skyline which closes at 6 pm sadly we missed it. The place closes at 8 pm. There’s no picnicing or pets allowed. It’s a must see in Boston even if cemeteries are not your thing!"

"You don't expect yourself to be raving about a cemetery to your family and friends, but after a leisurely stroll through the Mount Auburn Cemetery and Arboretum you'll be doing just that. Stop by the chapel at the gates for a map of resting places of famous/historical people and a sense at the scope of the place. You could spend most of your day here if you wanted."

"Beautiful place to walk, I have come here twice and have really enjoyed myself both times. The grounds are extremely well kept and there is a large variety of wildlife throughout the cemetery and it's just really peaceful. Feels like you escape the city for a little bit and it is really quite wonderful."
