Dedicated in 1846, Elmwood is Detroit’s oldest still-operating nondenominational cemetery and was one of the first racially integrated cemeteries in the Midwest. In the 1890s, under the guidance of noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Elmwood’s trustees took measures to preserve the cemetery’s rural character and inspire calm contemplation of nature. It’s also a certified arboretum one of the few places in Detroit where you can get a sense of the original terrain of the city before urbanization. It is the final resting place of mayors, governors, veterans of every war since the Revolution, abolitionists and countless notable Detroiters, including Lewis Cass, Coleman Young, Martha Jean “The Queen” Steinberg, Fred “Sonic” Smith, and Bernhard Stroh, creator of the Stroh’s family of beers.This Sunday tour starts at 1:30pm. Meet inside the front gates. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the tour, which runs two hours. Parking is available in the Calvary Baptist church lot on the west side of the fence near the gatehouse; limited disability parking is available in front of the office.
