  The historic Miami cemetery with the founders of Miami (Julia Tuttle, etc.). So much of Miami history is destroyed for redevelopment so this place is a gem.

  The place for Miami's historical who's who. The City Cemetery mirrors the development and racial make up of Miami. The Cemetery is divided into different sections by both race and religion. You'll find a black section, a Catholic section, and a Jewish section among others. Some of the biggest names of Miami's history can be found here, like Julia Tuttle herself - the mother of Miami. The ground are well maintained and feel safe.

  Miami City Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Miami's founders and those who played instrumental roles in its rise to greatness. Look about its lawns and the tombs of Julia Tuttle, the Burdine, Peacock, Duval, Sewell, and Jackson families--all pioneers of Miami--invite remembrance. Veterans of the Civil War--both Union and Confederate--share the same ground. Veterans of the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II lie throughout. Joseph C. Meredith--Chief Engineer of the Key West Extension--rests next to his wife, Ella. His gravestone was placed there by a grieving Henry Flagler, owner of the Florida East Coast Railway and financier of the Extension. Founded on 10 acres in 1887 by a purchase from Mary Brickell--another Miami founder--City Cemetery tells the story of Miami from its earliest days to its rich and glittery present.
