Cave Hill Cemetery (Louisville, Ky.)

Chartered in 1848, Cave Hill Cemetery and Arboretum is a 296 acre Victorian era National Cemetery. The grounds boast a Corinthian-style tower and main entrance, two man made lakes, more than five hundred species of trees and shrubs, as well as the Kentucky's finest collection of outdoor monumental sculptures. Beargrass Creek runs through the middle of the property, dividing the cemetery into new (eastern) and old (western) sections. It is also the burial site of many of Louisville's older families. As of 1998, the cemetery had interred approximately 118,000 people. Notable internments include three Union Civil War generals, Revolutionary War leader George Rogers Clark, Abraham Lincoln confidants James and Joshua Fry Speed, and fried chicken entrepreneur Colonel Harland Sanders.
