Woodlawn Cemetery is now a National Historic Landmark! On June 30, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced that Woodlawn was one of 14 new national historic landmarks!

Cited for its landscape and architectural design, Woodlawn’s application was strengthened by the archival documentation of its monuments, which are now housed in Avery’s Drawings and Archives Woodlawn Cemetery Collection.  See the complete Woodlawn press release.
