The cemetery and the arboretum and gardens surrounding it absolutely deserves its status as a National Historic Landmark. I am very proud that it has served as the final resting place for members of my family for more that 150 years.

Wow. The architecture at Spring Grove Cemetery left me at a loss for words. Beautifully crafted grave stones and monuments and mausoleums provided so many sights to see and left me wondering about the people interred with them and what their lives were like. Old cemeteries are a treasure of history and ancestry.

I have a fair bit of family buried here from over a century ago all the way to more recent times. I'm very impressed with the great maintenance of my familys grave from ages ago. At most graveyards, they do not care as much for the older tombs, but Spring Grove definitely goes above and beyond regardless of the age of the grave. Thank y'all for y'all's work! I appreciate it!

Is there a spring grove cemetery walk during halloween

Terri Belmer | Oct 11, 2017
Miriam Leon | Oct 11, 2019

I am not 100% certain if they do have a halloween walk in this facility. But I suggest that you either call them at the number they have here, over there personally and speak to one of the receptionist in the office or check their website for more information. I hope this suggestion helps in some way. Good luck!

Why do you close so early? 6 is early. People work around the clock and cannot get there until later.
