Spring Grove Cemetery

This wonderful place is located in the Lebanon-Cincinatti area of Ohio. I had limited time but loved walking around. I will have to go back when I have more time to explore.

Saw this and didn't think you were in the Cincinnati area!! I am, used to work in the city, but not near Spring Grove. Used to work with someone who retired and was giving tours there.

And of course, I've never been there, just have gone past it on occasion over the years. Why is it the thing in your own 'backyard' the thing you never get around to going to see?? Now I live out in the boonies and really not close to the city.

Nice pictures of statues there, it's supposed to be beautiful and historic.

Striking. I'm a sucker for old Ontario graveyards and their elaborate Victorian headstones and statuary.

Thanks! I was visiting relatives in Lebanon, and they decided to take me there to see the Beer Barons and other famous folks resting places. Kroger is there as well, as Union General Hooker, and quite a few other interesting historical characters. It is a beautiful place and well worth visiting. I intend on going back to spend some more time there when there is less of a time constraint...

Thank you! I love exploring cemeteries. Whan I was child and living in the UK, my mom would take us on walks through some very large, beautiful places.

Nice shots.

Thanks!
