If you’re looking for lots of famous people buried here, this isn’t an exciting place to start. But it is a large (over 400 acres) cemetery, very pretty, with a lot of impressive headstones to see. A lot of walking paths, benches to sit on, and shade trees. Expansive view of the city, as it sits on a hill. There are also ponds and fountains. The entrance, two large gothic arches, is imposing and make for a beautiful photograph. Very peaceful. Lots of squirrels and birds to watch.

Excellent! It is quite a fascinating place. Our guide was interesting and informative. The weather was beautiful and I stayed touring the grounds for several hours after the end of the tour.
