The Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia, is a historic 27-acre public garden and park that serves as a unique blend of a burial site and an engaging cultural attraction. Established in 1806, it remains the oldest municipal cemetery in Virginia that is still in use, welcoming over 33,000 visitors annually with a diverse range of events and educational opportunities.

Home to a village of five small museums, the cemetery tells the stories of nearly 20,000 individuals interred within its grounds while featuring the largest public collection of antique roses in Virginia. With its beautiful landscapes, historic significance, and role as a popular wedding venue, the Old City Cemetery stands out as an extraordinary destination for both remembrance and exploration.
