Visited here over 10 years ago with the Philadelphia chapter of the Victorian Society in America. We were having a picnic lunch as well as a tour. As I don’t drive I took the trolley but had quite a walk to the entrance. The house was lovely and our guide was very knowledgeable as well as informative pointing out various well known Philadelphians buried there, which if I recall includes Thomas Eakins.

Woodland Cemetery is an icon of west Philadelphia. It is historic and a great place to visit. Many people go on walks and runs through the cemetery since it is flat and very safe. It is so nice and peaceful here. There are also events that are held in the green space nearby. This is a very unique and interesting area to visit when in philly.

The Woodlands Cemetery and Mansion are a serene getaway from most of the hustle and bustle of the city. You may hear the occasional SEPTA trolley honk it's horn at the nearby 40th Street Portal or the less frequent comings and goings of regional rail or Amtrak trains, but for the most part, this is a quiet place. It's well-maintained by volunteers and families if the deceased alike. While you can drive on the roads inside, most visitors are here for a peaceful stroll or jog. There's usually a weekly yoga gathering and the Philadelphia Orchard Project also has an acre of plants worth seeing. If you're curious about who is resting below the surface and in the tombs, visit the Cemetery website and they have a list of all the notable folks for whom this tract of land is a final resting place. If you're interested in gardening and volunteering, the grave gardeners may have a task or two for you!

Arboretum style historic cemetery in West Philadelphia that's the final resting place for many famous local figures. One of the stone buildings was the residence of a Hamilton (not Alexander). You will see families strolling the grounds. You can download a map from the Woodlands' website, but it is a challenge to locate specific graves.Markers are tricky to find and the oldest part has a spiral grave layout. The author Elizabeth Gilbert used Woodlands as the inspiration for a novel. It is dog-friendly and not a far walk from Clark Park.

Roughly 1 mile (or less than 15-minutes to walk)
Yes, it's open dawn to dusk every day & it's free to visit - but sometimes they hold events that you'll need to register for ahead of time & pay for a ticket
There's one big chest believe, but there are a lot of other things you can find, but watch out for the zombies!
I do not know sorry
Ouija board might be your best bet considering the circumstances
You can just walk around. It's free. Sometimes there's an art exhibit. It's a nifty place to visit.
Get in touch with the grave keeper. They should be able to guide you to find your mother. I hope you are doing well.
They do have periodic events, but I would suggest getting on their mailing list since they are not every week.
