Woodlawn Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in New York City and a designated National Historic Landmark. Located south of Woodlawn Heights, Bronx, New York City,[1] it has the character of a rural cemetery. Woodlawn Cemetery opened during the Civil War in 1863,[2] in what was then Yonkers, in an area that was annexed to New York City in 1874.[3] It is notable in part as the final resting place of some well-known figures.
