Oakwood Cemetery

Why go

Oakwood tells the city’s history through many lives rather than a single official monument. The chapel provides interpretation and maps, while the grounds preserve evidence of changing communities and unequal treatment. Choose a few sections or a guided theme and approach the cemetery as a place of remembrance, not simply a collection of decorative stones.
