The only regret I had was not being able to read the stories on every gravestone in the Bellefontaine Cemetery. The cemetery is very well maintained and the most beautiful cemetery I've ever been! I can't wait to come visit again.

This is maybe my favorite place in the city. I once saw "The other forest park" written on an event sign there. In my opinion it is "The better Forest Park." As an avid history and architecture enthusiast I'm in heaven(pardon the expression) at this cemetery. Shockingly beautiful and just plain cool!
