Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio was founded in 1844 as a rural, lawn cemetery inspired by the likes of the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. It was meant to be a retreat from epidemics that raged in Cincinnati. The architect of this third-largest cemetery in the United States was Adolph Strauch who employed a Gothic Revival style. On the National Register of Historic Places, Spring Grove Cemetery is an oasis of lakes, ponds, groves, flower gardens, winding roads, and beautiful statuary.
