Description

A few years after Mount Auburn Cemetery was established, the city of Bangor in the state of Maine would follow its lead. Mount Hope Cemetery would become the second rural cemetery established in America. Bangor was named for the oldest city in Wales and is the "Queen City" of Maine. At the time that the cemetery was established, the city was known as the "Lumber Capitol of the World." And while the city was quite successful, its burial grounds were in bad shape. Many were abandoned and unkempt and the ones that were still being used were overcrowded. Bangor's mayor in 1834 even declared that the cemeteries caused a "soul chilling experience." This would change as the city decided to try its hand at this new garden cemetery experiment.
