Strange and Unusual Tales in Woodland

Woodland Cemetery isn’t just a resting place — it is also filled with endless stories. Beneath its serene trees lie inventors, pioneers, and those whose deaths came with whispers of scandal, sudden tragedy, or mysteries that remain unsolved.

💀 Murder, misfortune, and curious twists of fate echo throughout the gravestones, where every grave could tell a tale stranger than fiction. Join us as we explore a series of unfortunate and unusual tales in Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum.

📍 Meet at the Eichelberger Plaza at the main gates of the cemetery. Parking is available both inside and outside the gates. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a water bottle if needed.
