Woodlawn Cemetery has been called the “Silent City within a City,” earning its name from the abundance of memorial architecture and mausoleums (over 130) it contains. These mausoleums represent elegant styles of architecture, including Greek, Roman, and Egyptian Revival, as well as Art Deco and Art Nouveau. The list of famous Detroiters interred in these tombs is long and includes the Dodge Family, the James Couzens Family, and the S.S. Kresge Family. Join us on this tour to experience the beautiful architecture of the mausoleums as we walk through the peaceful park setting of Woodlawn.
