Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum (2nd largest non-profit cemetery in the US) on the north side of Cincinnati is celebrating their 175th Anniversary in 2020 with a special event weekend in late August and will not be repeating their annual History in Bloom event in April. So, we should have the entire cemetery and arboretum to ourselves for our auto tour through the 450 acres of hilly and winding roads, colorful flowering trees, shrubs, flowers, lakes, fountains and woods, which is not to be missed! Spring Grove is one of the most beautiful cemetery/arboretums you will ever visit and it is at its best in April!
