“Visit the Wade Chapel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

person found this review helpful

We visited the Wade Chapel at the Lake View Cemetery at the recommendation of one of the staff at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She said that the Tiffany-designed interior of the chapel was just beautiful. It was a small chapel, but indeed awe-inspiring and beautiful. You really need the chapel volunteer to shine a light on the various pieces... More

“Cleveland's outdoor museum”

person found this review helpful

Lakeview is an enormous green space with gorgeous historical buildings - the Garfield monument and Wade Chapel with Tiffany interiors. Yes, it's a cemetery and some of the carvings and crypts are exquisite. My husband is a photographer and one of his most reprinted black & white photos is of a crypt here. Daffodil Hill in the spring is nothing... More

We have been here too many times to remember !!! Great History, Statues, easy to drive around. If the Chapel is open the windows are amazing. Buy the "Book" that helps you locate Elloit Ness & many other "Clevelanders" !!! More

“Steeped in history”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2012

This cemetery is old and beautiful. Some of the graves have "blankets of ivy" which are perpetually maintained which I think is so loving. There is a beautiful chapel with stunning Tiffany windows plus the James Garfield Monument. Go and spend a day! More

“Beautiful any time of year.”

person found this review helpful

Every spring, we visit Lakeview Cemetary to see the daffodils. The staff put up signs to direct you on a driving tour through the cemetary to see the tens of thousands of blooms. But, this cemetary is worth visiting any time of year to see the Garfield Monument (tomb of President James Garfield and his wife) and the Wade Chapel... More

It's a wonderful park, a great place to stroll, and the Wade Chapel is very beautiful. The Tiffany interior is one of the few intact Tiffany interiors left, and is the most beautiful room I saw in Cleveland. More

During our trip to Cleveland, we made a stop to Lake View Cemetery and we were amazed! There were many different sites to see and unique sculptures and tombstones. This is a great stop for photographers. I ended up taking ~200 photos while there and felt that I couldn't stop. There were just so many unique things. One note: The... More

If it's a beautiful day while you're in Cleveland, and you've been to the lake and the West Side Market, go to the Lake View Cemetery. You can eat a picnic lunch with millionaires and a president. I would also recommend that you visit President James A. Garfield's Monument...WOW! This is History at its best and it's free! Just as... More
