Graceland Cemetery

Swain Nelson created the original layout, of 80 acres. Horace Cleveland designed curving paths, open vistas and a small lake in 1870, and Ossian Cole Simonds was landscape architect from 1879 and later superintendent until 1897. Monuments include the Getty Tomb and the Martin Ryerson Mausoleum by Louis Sullivan, who is buried here; the Schoenhofen Pyramid Mausoleum; Eternal Silence and The Crusader by Lorado Taft; and the Marshall Field memorial by Henry Bacon with sculpture by Daniel Chester French. Those buried here include Daniel Burnham, George Pullman and Ernie Banks. Graceland Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 2001.
