Forest Lawn Cemetery
A landscaped cemetery from 1849, filled with sculptures and memorial architecture. It is the final resting place of President Fillmore and features Wright's Blue Sky Mausoleum.
Forest Lawn Cemetery covers about 110 hectares and is designed in a rural garden style. Lakes, ancient trees, and more than a hundred sculptures and family mausoleums are scattered throughout. It is one of Buffalo's most beautiful green spaces. Buried here are Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States, and Red Jacket, a Seneca leader, along with other notable figures. The 'Blue Sky Mausoleum,' designed by Wright in 1928, was not completed until 2004. The cemetery is free to enter. It can be explored by car or on foot, and guided walking tours and sightseeing tram rides are offered in summer. The autumn foliage is especially beautiful. Please keep silent and respect those visiting graves.
