Top 7 Cemeteries in Baltimore, Maryland (MD)
Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Burial site of the famous author.

The memorial is nice and liked all the info signs. the cemetery had alot of historical figures buried there and there are signs throughout to explain. it is also cool due to a variety of burial types including tombstones, tombs, and crypts. also, i was curious about the pennies on the memorial and found that school children raised pennies to put a gravestone at Poe's original grave since it had no marker.

John Wilkes Booth is buried in this eerie graveyard.
Reviewed By 703BillB703 - Bel Air, United States
We found graves of Baltimore's famous like Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt, Elijah Bond of Ouija Board fame, and Aubrey Bodine, photographer. The gates are locked, so visits are by appointment. A useful map is provided and one can drive around most of the Cemetery or park and take well maintained footpaths. We saw grave stones dating back to 1810, though there may be older ones. There is a wide variety of funerary architecture. While one can see the city over the high stone walks, one generally feels enclosed in another world.
