Erie Street Cemetery

Erie Street Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio is the city's oldest existing cemetery, dating back to 1827. With almost 8,000 burials, including notable pioneers and combatants, the cemetery is a historic landmark. Efforts have been made to preserve and beautify the cemetery, with the addition of monuments and graves to honor famous individuals and the planting of over 300 trees and shrubs.
