Description

  Woodland Cemetery, established in 1853, represents an intersection of Cleveland's history and present. While today it sits largely forgotten in the city's Central neighborhood, Woodland once held an esteemed position in the public's eye.  As Cleveland changed, so too did the cemetery, and with each burial a piece of the city was placed in the grounds.  Though the prestige is long gone, monuments and memorials attesting to Woodland's place in our city continue to remain and remind us of the past.
