Graceland holds Marshall Field, Potter Palmer, Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham and the Getty Tomb, which means a walk through it is a walk through the people who built the city and the architects who housed them. Selzer wrote the reference book on who is buried where, so the tour runs on research rather than folklore. Ninety minutes in October, with the trees turning.
What to expect
A ninety-minute guided walk across a large Victorian cemetery on paved and unpaved paths, stopping at monuments and mausoleums with the guide narrating the histories.
