Graceland Cemetery Tour
Highlights
Louis Sullivan Society members
enjoyed an informative tour of Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery with Henry
Kuehn. Graceland Cemetery embodies an outstanding landscape design
achievement, created by the vision of some of the nation’s most
significant landscape designers and engineers. Graceland’s exceptional
landscape is interspersed with superb monuments, which exemplify the
finest late-19th and early-20th century art, architecture, and
craftsmanship.
