Excerpts

The Mount Hope Cemetery was established in 1834 to accommodate the growing needs of a booming lumber town. Shortly after it was founded, the Mount Hope Cemetery Corporation took over administration, as it was and is non-sectarian. They began to beautify its grounds, creating walkways, gardens, bridges and ponds – making it the first garden cemetery in the United States and earning it a spot on the National Register of Historic Sites. From Bangor mayors, Civil War heroes and a United States Vice President to lumber barons and gangsters, the cemetery is the resting place of both the city's most colorful and venerable residents. With the erection of monuments and the donation of land, Mount Hope Cemetery also made important contributions to the Lumber City. In the twenty-first century, it remains a popular location for burials and with visitors to its picturesque ground. Join historian Trudy Irene Scee as she celebrates this enduring centerpiece of the Bangor community.
