Geocache Description:

A cache hidden for our L.O.S.T. in the city event. There are a few visitor parking spaces in front on the stone entrance way on the left hand side.

Greenwood Cemetery is located in Lancaster, Pa., and was originally chartered on September 4, 1895. The most striking feature of the cemetery is its historic stone-gated Egyptian Revival mausoleum entrance facing South Queen Street. Constructed by D.M. Rothenberger, an architect, and Kaufman and Kraemer contractors, the gate stands as a remembrance of them, and serves as an elegant entry into the cemetery. Greenwood Cemetery is a very handsomely landscaped burial ground covering approximately thirty acres. Due to its relative "youth" in comparison to several other cemeteries, fewer persons of state and national prominence are buried here than in Lancaster Cemetery, Woodward Hill Cemetery or Shreiner's Cemetery. The cemetery contains more that 1,000 markers, statues and family mausoleums. Also located on the grounds is a one and one-half story, three bay brick crematorium, with shuttered lancet windows and corbelled brick details. The crematorium, built in 1884, was the first public crematorium in Pennsylvania and one of the earliest in the nation.
