Frankfort Cemetery

"A beautiful historic cemetery. You could spend hours exploring/honoring those interred here. Make sure you take in the beautiful views of the Kentucky river."

"Daniel Boone Miss Elizabeth (wrestling) Kentucky Memorial for the Unborn Beautiful place, so much history here."

"Drove through on a Saturday before heading back home. This place is huge with a tremendous amount of history. Stopped by the grave of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca. Beautiful views of downtown Frankfort, Kentucky from their resting place."

"Drove thru around noon on the Sat before Memorial day.. This place is HUGE.. but at the same time it is easy to navigate. I wish I had more time to spend here. Some people may not think visiting cemeteries is interesting or an attraction but especially one like this is. It is filled with so much history & art! It's like an outdoor history/art museum & botanical garden. There are a couple of Kentucky governors buried in the cemetery. Daniel & Rebecca Boone's burial site overlooking the River, the Kentucky capital buildings and Historic downtown Frankfort. Artist Paul Sawyer is resting here & there is a memorial for lost unborn children which i found interesting. I was amazed by the sheer size of some of the mighty oak and other variety of trees in the park. It would be interesting to find out how old some of them are.. cause yea they are the biggest in circumference that i have ever seen in person. The staff were busy getting the grounds ready for Memorial Day. But you could tell that the grounds & markers are maintained and nice all the time. I'm not sure how old this cemetery is or how far back the dates run but there are clearly several generations here... lots of stories.. There is a large variety of flowers & other plants planted throughout the grounds but what i really wished i could have spent more time doing was just looking at all of the amazing marble sculptures. The artistry, talent & skill not to mention hours of back breaking hard work it had to have taken to create those amazing monuments.. and there are sooo many here... so many I just couldn't stop & look at them like I wanted.. to appreciate them. I didn't even have time to drive thru the whole thing."

"You will come out humbled by the powerful display of patriotism and pride. You will find tributes to War sacrifices ranging from 1812 to the present. Also you will find the grave of Daniel Boone and even a touching tribute to the unborn (it is the South, so I pay my respect). I shed a tear.....the power of it escapes words. The cemetery overlooks the State Capitol and the Kentucky River....just incredible."
