Founded in 1831 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Mount Auburn was the first landscaped cemetery in America and was influential in the creation of America's public parks. It is still an active cemetery but also serves as an arboretum, a museum of sculpture, and a wildlife sanctuary.

     Mount Auburn is the final resting place for many famous Americans. Some include: Mary Baker Eddy, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Buckminster Fuller, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Winslow Homer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, B.F. Skinner, and Fanny Farmer!
