O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Više od 65.000 ljudi je sahranjeno ovde, uključujući direktora FBI-ja Dž. Edgara Huvera i kompozitora Džona Filipa Suzu. Groblje istovremeno služi kao aktivno groblje, javni park i mesto jedinog licenciranog parka za pse na groblju u SAD.
Istaknuto: Nadgrobni spomenici u obliku trupaca raštrkani su po pejzažu, obeležavajući grobove članova Indijanske mirovne komisije iz 19. veka koji su odabrali taj dizajn u znak solidarnosti sa autohtonim zajednicama. Groblje takođe vodi program za mačke gde lutalice tumaraju terenom i drže populaciju glodara pod kontrolom.
Insajderski saveti
- Grab a map at the kiosk near the entrance to find famous graves quickly, including Sousa's and Belva Lockwood's.
- Visit on a weekend morning when the dog park is hopping and the cemetery feels less like a graveyard and more like a community park.
- Bring binoculars: the hilltop near the public vault has one of the best unobstructed views of the Washington Monument and Capitol.
- Skip the guided tour if you're short on time; the self-guided route is well marked and takes you past all the highlights.
