Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum, established in 1842 in Dayton, Ohio, is one of the nation’s oldest garden cemeteries and has grown from 40 acres to 200 acres. Its rolling hills contain more than 100,000 burials, over 3,000 trees, and a major collection of native Midwestern woody plants, including several Ohio Champion trees. Founded by John Whitten Van Cleve, it also served as a refuge during the Great Dayton Flood of 1913. Its historic landscape includes an 1889 Romanesque gateway, chapel, and office, an unusual Egyptian-inspired receiving vault built in 1847, and the graves of prominent figures including Orville and Wilbur Wright and Paul Laurence Dunbar.
