Have you ever wondered why the roads at Historic Hollywood Cemetery are so narrow? 🚙🌿
When the cemetery was established in 1895, its roads were designed for horse-drawn carriages, with some following the shoreline of a lake that was later filled in during the 1920s. A portion of the original brick road still remains today, giving visitors a special glimpse into Hollywood’s earliest years!
Because burial spaces, monuments, and historic features now closely surround these original roadways, they cannot be widened without disturbing important pieces of the cemetery’s history. Our narrow roads are just one of the many unique features that make Historic Hollywood Cemetery so special 🤍
