Walking Tour: Forest Hills Cemetery


Adult Education / Experience and Explore -
Adult WS2025

Established in 1848, Forest Hills is one of the jewels of Greater Boston. Victorians created this eternal resting place for their loved ones at the same time that they designed a landscape in which the living could enjoy nature. Our walk along its winding paths will visit, among other sites, Daniel Chester French's masterpiece, "Death Stays the Hand of the Sculptor," as well as social reformer, Abby May; Revolutionary War Hero, General Joseph Warren; and Dr. Susan Dimock, a pioneer surgeon. In this tree-filled sanctuary, we will explore the stories of our civic ancestors, both the famous and the lesser-known. This tour is an opportunity to celebrate our past while enjoying art and nature in a spectacular setting.
