Bill and Cynthia VerDuin have planned a fun Sunday afternoon combining car people, Cleveland automotive history, and beautiful scenery at the historic Lake View Cemetery followed by fine dining at Washington Place (the former Baracelli Inn).
We will meet at 2:30 in Lake View Cemetery, just east of downtown Cleveland. From the entrance to the cemetery at 12316 Euclid, Cleveland 44106, follow signs to the Garfield Monument and parking area.
Our tour will start at the Garfield Monument where a docent will meet us and bring history alive, as we learn about the Cleveland natives that helped create the first automobiles and the automobile industry. We will see Wade Chapel and the Garfield Monument (inside and out), both outstanding examples of turn of the century architecture. We will also see the beautiful grounds of the Lakeview Cemetery. Lake View Cemetery is known as Cleveland’s “Outdoor Museum and Arboretum.” It’s Cleveland’s historical, horticultural, architectural, sculptural and geological gem. The magnificent collection of trees, shrubs and plants make for an exceptional green space in an urban area. This “green space” provides a wonderful refuge for birds and small animals, as well as a showplace of extraordinary architectural and sculptural treasures. To learn more, click here.
