Diane G. sent me the following e-mail about Albany Rural Cemetery:
Established on October 7, 1844, the Albany Rural Cemetery is one of the most beautiful historic cemeteries in upstate New York. Its 467 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds include the burial plots of many distinguished national and local dignitaries, including President Chester A. Arthur. The Albany Rural Cemetery contains large collection of tombs and monuments by well known sculptors and remains from 18th century graveyards removed from downtown Albany. The lodge and chapel were designed in 1882 and 1884 by Robert W Gibson and the superintendent's house designed 1899 by Marcus T Reynolds.
It will take a few days to actually go through this remarkable cemetery. The staff are very friendly and will assist you in finding what you are there to seek. It is quite amazing.
For more information, please visit the official site.
