This is one of the show places of Cincinnati in that it is not merely a cemetery but also an arboretum. The extensive grounds are beautifully kept, most all the markers are under a contract of Perpetual care, and the mausoleums are works of beauty.

There are many different functions held at Spring Grove throughout the year and there are guided tours on trams freely available to the public by reservation.

Some of the most wonderful trees in Ohio are located here. There is an Isle of magnificent oak trees. They are attempting to plant Chestnut trees on the very small possibility that one of them might prove resistant to the chestnut blight. But my favorite tree is the Magnificent and full grown American elm tree here. It is by far the largest I have seen and one of the very few Elm trees left from the Dutch elm disease that almost wiped the species out in America. They are also attempting to save some of their ash trees from the emerald ash borer.

This is all in addition to stunning statuary on family grave markers throughout the cemetery. When my wife and I want to take a quiet walk or to go for a bicycle ride this is usually our venue of choice.

No pets are allowed in the cemetery.
