Mario DiazAgosto 23, 2016Te invito a ver mi video de este sitio en mi canal de YouTube. Vagando con mafedien.
Just come and get lost. Lots to read and look at. Some great views of downtown too. The guide provided in the gift store is also fun to use. There are several tours year round to check out as well.
Simply not to be missed! The unexpectedly romantic pathways ramble through ancient Victorian gardens filled with stunning architectural monuments. GREAT stories on the different guided tours!
A surprisingly active and beautiful cemetery, be sure to take one of the guided tours or visit for one of their events: Tunes in the Tombs, Sunday in the Park, and of course, for Halloween!
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesEnero 29, 2013One of Atlanta's most interesting historic sites, this cemetery is the final resting place of Bobby Jones, Margaret Mitchell and Maynard Jackson, to name a few. Self and guided tours are available.- It's a stunning, clear crisp day here at Historic Oakland. Come visit me in the Bell Tower museum shop where I'm volunteering til 1:00.
Oakland is the best place to eat lunch. Go to Grant Park Coffee or Ria's and pick up some delicious sandwiches to go and sit in the cemetery for the best lunch date in town!- Aaron CruzJulio 24, 2013Historical gem in the Grant Park neighborhood. Beautiful gardens, skyline views and so much history of Atlanta and the Old South all in one place.
I'm particularly fond of the mausoleums as well as the historic Jewish section and the Confederate soldiers grounds.

Megan BrownOctubre 27, 2012Oakland is using a Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Service to restore several of the mausoleums on the site. Visit and see them at work doing amazing stone restoration.

Thomas TaylorNoviembre 4, 2015The tours are worth every penny. The Halloween tour sells out months of advance, book early.
Kelly DDiciembre 19, 2010The self guided map is 4 dollars at the visitor center and a must. (If u check in u get 25% off) The african american section has different markers where u can call a number and hear information!
GPNAFebrero 26, 2013Grab lunch to go from across the street: Tin Lizzy's, Republic, Doc Chey's, Six Feet Under & eat with Bobby Jones. The last person who did this on a Saturday golfed lights-out on Sunday!

HISTORYAbril 19, 2010Founded in 1850, it's the oldest cemetery in Atlanta. It is the final resting place of many of Atlanta's settlers, builders & most noted citizens like Bobby Jones, Margaret Mitchell & Maynard Jackson.
Check out Sunday in the Park each year in October - this Victorian street festival has a lot to offer. The last couple of years have had amazing weather.
Nic WillisMayo 9, 2010Make sure to visit the visitors center first. They have guided maps for sale and the folks working there are very knowledge about the cemeterys history.

Tony PilgrimMarzo 24, 2023A cemetery is not a park for good times, or for 5K races, or vendors! Have some common decency and respect for the dead!- GPNAMarzo 17, 2011Local Lust: Grab lunch to go from across the street: Tin Lizzy's, Republic, Doc Chey's, Six Feet Under & eat with Bobby Jones. The last person who did this on a Saturday golfed lights-out on Sunday!
Paula MadeiraDiciembre 30, 2017I’m not really a fan of cemeteries and I don’t see the big ow of this one, but it is very touristic. You can take guided tours for around $15.
