After entering the grounds of Rosehill Cemetery, an enormous area with trees, monuments, ponds and graves awaits the visitor, who is advised to explore the cemetery by car.
While we drove around the exterior of Rosehill Cemetery in the northern suburbs of Chicago, we realized how big this cemetery is, and at 141 hectares (around 350 acres) it actually is bigger than some of the city states in Europe. Originally called Roe's Hill, a mapmaker mistakenly registered Rosehill - a name that has stuck ever since. The entrance gate was not to be missed: looking like a fairy tale castle with turrets and towers, it is a landmark in itself. The limestone gate was designed by William Boyington in 1864 - the same architect who also created the Water Tower in downtown Chicago, and who is buried in this same cemetery himself. We parked the car inside, and prepared to walk around the cemetery under the scorching sun, when someone advised us to actually drive around the cemetery.
