Montgomery Cemetery, the first public cemetery in Montgomery County, offered a park-like atmosphere for Victorian families to relax and picnic while visiting the graves of their loved ones. Established in 1847, the cemetery is the final resting place of over 400 veterans including five Civil War Generals. Tours begin at the Aderman Gatehouse followed by a short tour of the cemetery with stories of Montgomery County citizens from all walks of life.
