Friedhof von Lexington - Lexington, Kentucky

Lloyd Mershon

Beautiful cemetery right off Main Street in Lexington. The cherry blossoms are a big draw every year when they are in bloom. We might have missed peak by a few days, but they were still worth the drive. We did make it a point to go by John Breckenridge and John Morgan's grave. The Morgan monument used to be downtown but was moved to the cemetery.

Beautiful cemetery with well-kept grounds. It was perfectly scenic for a peaceful morning walk. Really enjoyed my time here, and look forward to returning.

There is some kind of commercial property toward the back of the grounds (I couldn't tell if it belongs to the cemetery or is a another business), but cars were speeding through the grounds to get to this location. Just something to be mindful of if you're planning a visit.

Lexington cemetery is really beautiful. They have signs on the edge of certain sections that tell you, you are at the grave of someone famous or very important to Kentucky history. Not all famous have those signs.

The reason I kept it from 5 stars is the speed limit. 20 mph is way too fast in a cemetery. Speed limit should be around 10, maybe 15. 20 is too fast and people walk around the cemetery with their pets and people don't slow down when passing another vehicle. Can't tell you how many times I encounter an unsafe vehicle at the cemetery during my visit.

We were in Lexington this past weekend for a concert and drove past a cemetery about a mile from our downtown hotel. The next morning as we were leaving town, we decided to spend a little time going through the cemetery. It was the last weekend in October so it was absolutely beautiful. Such rich history and includes the tombs of Henry Clay, the Todd family (Lincoln’s in-laws), and Coach Rupp of Kentucky basketball fame. It also had a national cemetery within its borders as well as an arboretum. If you love old cemeteries, this is a wonderful location to visit if you were in the Lexington area.

One of the most beautiful cemeteries in the entirety of Kentucky! It is really well kept, and has great scenery. There is the large Henry Clay memorial which has got to be over 200 feet! There is also some veterans tombs, and really old stonecaps!

Rarely, do we walk hallowed grounds like those present within the Lexington Cemetery. These marble and granite monuments to those who have passed before us still have the power to shape our experience. This location exists like a time capsule full of local, regional, and national history. Anyone wanting to know more about life, dedication, and sacrifice has but to walk these hillsides and read the plaques and inscriptions.

Truly a moving location. Everyone should visit and spend some time just quietly taking it all in.

Well maintained historic and public cemetery with decedent's from 1700s on up. Very large cemetery with very large and old trees and lakes.

The sun came out for us, but it's the Canadian geese that stole the show during our winter walk through Lexington Cemetery. The cemetery is beautiful and well-maintained; it's a good place for a stroll with an active mind reading the old headstones.
