Rock Creek Cemetery

Such a beautiful cemetery. Always a favorite to visit on a nice day outside. I have been here a half dozen times and still have not discovered all the unique memorials. This cemetery is always a nice place to visit. For some reason, it is always on a rainy day that I happen to stop by. Springtime is always a great time to visit; so many cherry blossoms.

I visited Rock Creek after spending several crowded days at the Smithsonian, and was double struck by the peacefulness of this cemetery. The grounds are lovely and in April there were many trees and shrubs in blossom. I spent a couple hours there on a Sunday morning and was surprised at the paucity of visitors.

One of the best cemeteries you will ever visit. The Mausoleums are plentiful and this place is just incredibly peaceful. Paul Tully's grave wins top prize for creativity. A chair, with a coffee cup and a newspaper that has the front headline of Bill Clinton winning the presidential election back in the 90's. Visit in the fall when all the leaves are changing color.

Beautiful cemetery where many big personalities are buried, including Alice Roosevelt, Gore Vidal, and what feels like all owners of the Dupont Mansions. Also home to beautiful sculptures like "Grief."
