Beautiful cemetery to drive through and walk the grounds. So much history here. A wonderful place to visit.

Closed Sundays!Came back Monday & very glad I did. The most interesting cemetery I have ever visited. You could spend a day here walking the grounds. Its wonderful.Located in a bad hood bit once youre in the gates you wont notice. The staff were wonderful - let me follow him in his cart to the area I wanted. Super nice guy! Kudos to you all. Very well kept grounds. They work hard here. They average around 10 or so new burials a year these days.At the gate Arch to the right is the office. Sign in & get a map. Costs you nothing. Go here - you wont be disappointed!!!

I went on a tour several years ago. My friend Beth. Wanted to go so i bought the tickets. . I was well informed about the history of the Cemetery. Also i was impressed with the notable people buried there. The guide did a good job at the time.

You can drive through. Nice staff.

Lovely but eerie cemetery, checked out my man Elijah Bond grave site to show respect. Area j plot 20 I believe.

Very quiet and scenic. Located in a really rough area but this hidden gem is a must see. Free admission and parking, closes early.

My Granddad worked there for years,not to mention certain Family members.Its a Family business. And a Very good place.

Loved it. Very quiet and beautiful. Yes the cemetery is in a rough part of the neighborhood. But this hidden gem is a must see if ever given the chance. You can walk or drive. Admission is free. Free parking also.

I found John Wilkes Booth and he made me achieve nirvana.

Amazing place. Green Mount is what the terrain in this area looked like before it was developed!Beautiful paths and trees and graves of local Baltimoreans, some famous.The neighborhood just across from the entrance is lovely, with a vegan cafe directly across from the street, and murals and flowering trees just north. A very safe walk from the train station.

I dont get the one star reviews. Yes, its a cemetery in a rough part of town. But the cemetery itself is beautiful and well maintained. There are lots of notable people buried here such as Johns Hopkins, Elijah Bond, John Wilkes Booth, and Allen Dulles. The sculptures here are also worth noting as they are works of art on their own.

Very beautiful and quiet cemetery. Lots of history. Stopped by to see Elijah Bonds ouija board headstone. So cool and interesting.

Stopped by on a very cold December afternoon to visit the graves of Elijah Bond (Ouija board inventor) , John Wilkes Booth, and Johns Hopkins. Would be a nice place to walk around on a warmer day.

Excellent place to be buried! My awakening was very calm; the dirt was porous and dry providing an easeful transition back to the land of the living!

Very cool place. But please be mindful of where you are. The area is improving but still bordering some nasty, abandoned neighborhoods.

Great history. Wortha trip if you were a history or maybe English major and enjoy the unusual.

Historical Old Cemetery

I stay across the street, my view isnt of the establishment, but any occasion I pass byIt seems to be a well taken care of establishment.

I cant speak to if Green Mount has a Crematorium (a place where cremation happen) or not. So for the purpose of this review i am sticking to the cemetery. And in that aspect i am not talking about the services offered, to a point.Green Mount (or sometimes Greenmount) represents probably the most historic and well-known of the cemeteries in Baltimore. However if youre a fan of history, statuary and monuments, or just a fan of cemeteries in general, i highly recommend you check it out.One of the first things you might notice, after passing through the fortress like gates (of which one of the turrets, the one on the right as you enter, contains the offices where you can sign in, ask some question, drop off genealogy paperwork, and get a map), and for now discounting the gravesites is how hilly this cemetery is for such a small piece of ground. Parts of the Cemetery easily rise about the walls of it. This gives you an idea of what the surrounding area was like when the cemetery was founded in what was then the outskirts of the city (as opposed to its almost central location now). The surrounding neighborhoods have been smoothed out as they were developed. So i would recommend good sneakers if youre traversing the cemetery on foot.As for statuary and monuments, in my opinion, Green Mount represents some of the best representation of American Memorialization of the Dead from the mid 1800s on to today. And unlike many modern cemeteries, even-though for all practical purposes its full, the burials that still take place are not just restricted to a memorial plaque sat in the ground. But it is impressive to see the various different ways that families took to marking the plots of their deceased.As for history, more so then probably any other cemetery outside Westminster Burial Grounds for Baltimore. The most notable is John Wilkes Booth (not related) who is supposedly interred in family plot in an unmarked grave. Some notable others interred in the cemetery include, Johns Hopkins, Elizabeth Betsy Patterson-Bonaparte, Walter Lord, Allan Dulles, William Henry Rinehart, Enoch Pratt, and Sidney Lanier. Also dont be suppressed if you recognize Family names from the names of communities, streets, and points of interest around town.Do note that the cemetery closes earlier them most, around three i believe. And i dont believe it is open on Sundays (i could be wrong). They do offer tours. Personally i have yet to take one, but if you contact them they should give you information.With that said some advice about the neighborhood. While the cemetery is relatively safe (ive never had any issues) the surrounding neighborhood is less so. Over the years this has been one of the rougher neighborhoods in the city. While it has improved over the last couple of years, wandering around or exploring the adjacent neighborhood would not be recommended. Particularly if your alone, in a small group, or not familiar with the area. Their isnt much to see either and facilities are limited.

Spooky.

Good

Everyone in there is dead.
