CALVARY CEMETERY
1625 Calvary Avenue
Dayton, Ohio 45409

Established: 1872
Acres: 200

Bella Morte Rating: 3 Tombstones
Calvary Cemetery was established in 1872. It stands on an area in Dayton known as "The Bluffs" and overlooks part of the city. Calvary is only two miles from Dayton's real gem, Woodland Cemetery, so if you happen to be in the area it's certainly worth driving over.
Calvary cemetery features numerous Catholic monuments and includes the striking St. Henry Chapel and, at the highest point on the property, a bronze sculpture of the crucifixion which rests on a solid granite base imported from France. While Calvary pales in the shadow of nearby Woodland (it would be more remarkable if it didn't have such a breathtaking neighbour) it possesses considerable beauty and is definitely worth visiting.
