I'm not a huge history buff, but I love coming to the cemetery. It is so beautiful and peaceful. It is extremely well maintained and it is so large and intricate with many different places to explore!

The tours of this historical cemetery are fun and are so well narrated when you are finished you feel like you knew each and every historical figure buried here and a sense of what Rochester was like 100 years ago. Fascinating

there are people buried here from before the civil war, families, dignitaries, and historical figures. there are tours worth taking.

We took a tour of Mt Hope Cemetery when some friends were visiting. Boy, did we ever learn something about our local history. A lot has happened here in Rochester and the knowledgable docents are prompted to stories by the graves that they pass. There is also an architecture study with the mausoleums.

Sometimes when I walk along the cobblestone roads under the gentle wooded hills of Mount Hope Cemetery, I am looking for perspective. Somewhere in these stones around me, I suspect, lie pretty much all the problems I face. And whether solved or left unsolved, I feel comfort in the collective wisdom under the ground.

The reason we go here may not be the most fantastic family outing, but I'm always pleased by the way it is kept up. Someone is doing a very good job and I'm sure that there are others like us that really appreciate it.

Access is great and the cemetery is well kept. We were able to quickly find our deceased family members. If times were different this place has a great history to it with Frederick Douglass and Susan B Anthony on site.

You can spend several hours just walking around here and seeing a lot of different periods of time. Lots of good birds (not unusual for a wooded cemetery). There is a small museum with some interesting historic exhibits

Special to me as I have many ancestors there. the rolling hills at the North end add a special feel.
