Graceland Cemetery and Crematorium Visit Chicago's most famous deceased

4001 North Clark Street Chicago, IL 60613-1903 +1 773 525 1105 http://www.gracelandcemetery.org

Established in 1860, this is Chicago's most famous cemetery and is on the National Registry of Historic Sites. Recall any important person in Chicago history, and chances are he or she is buried here. Notables whose final resting place is Graceland Cemetary include dept. store tycoon Marshall Field, architect Mies van der Rohe, and railroad inventor George Pullman. Some of the tombs, such as the Getty mausoleum designed by Louis Sullivan, are themselves works of art, complementing the lakes and statues. Take a tour offered by the Chicago Historical Society (+1 312 642 4600) or by the Chicago Architecture Foundation (+1 312 922 3432). Do not expect to see any spooks, though. Ghost legends are few and far between, as Graceland stands as an anomaly in this most haunted city. Review © 2009, Wcities
