Mount Hope is more than a cemetery. It's a peaceful park, a wildlife sanctuary, and an outdoor museum.
Many visitors visit Mount Hope each year to visit the graves of notable individuals interred here, attend events, participate in guided tours conducted by the Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery, take photographs of the grounds, bird watch, or simply stroll through the natural landscape and relax. The cemetery is an active burial place and continues to perform burials almost daily.
