Cave Hill Cemetery: A Pictorial Guide and History of Louisville’s City of the Dead traces the story of one of the city’s most storied landmarks.
Founded in 1848, Cave Hill is both a working cemetery and a National Historic Landmark, laid out as a rolling Victorian-era garden cemetery with a large arboretum. It’s the resting place of notable Louisvillians including Colonel Harland Sanders and Muhammad Ali.
Illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs, this guide walks readers through the cemetery’s monuments, its landscape design, and the lives of the people buried within it.
