Very peaceful and nice cemetery. Lots of joggers and walkers inside enjoying these really nice and huge grounds. #13 President Millard Fillmore buried here.
Thanks for those very true comments!
The President Fillmore lot is also home to his first wife Abigail, their daughter, Mary Abigail, their son Millard Powers and his second wife Caroline Carmichael. The University of Buffalo hosts an annual birthday celebration every January 7 for the President right at the burial site. Join us next year!

If you love beautiful architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright) and history, Forest Lawn Cemetery is a must see! You can walk through on your own or take a paid tour via trolley or walking (check out the website). Bring your camera!
There are wild turkeys, amazing family history as well as local history, beautiful grounds and plenty of hills, trees, ponds, benches...lovely place.

Yes Mary... WNY is the country's best kept secret. With the beauty of the city and surrounding areas plus authentic history aren't we lucky to have this all in like you said, "Our own back yard?"

Might be the cleanest place in the city like to look at the dear but avoid at night time they have many of shooting on at the club blush on the Delaware side
Very historic place for a Sunday stroll. Take the guided tour as you will be amazed at what you will learn.
Thanks for suggesting our tours... The summer season begins on June 16 with our famous Civil War tours. Then starting June 23, we will begin our ever popular history tours.... both walking and trolley tours every Sunday! See you on the Lawn!
