Today we continue our history of American cemeteries by exploring the ideological, religious, and artistic origins of the rural cemetery movement in America. We explore the development of Perl Lachaise in Paris and how that idea was adapted to fit the growing United States. This episode will explore what made rural/garden cemeteries different, and why they continue to capture the American imagination almost 190 years after Mount Auburn was founded.
