Barrow Cemetery in Racine County, Wisconsin.
Perhaps three thousand years ago, nomadic Indians, known as the Woodland people, chose this as a ceremonial meeting place and a sacred burial ground. Among the tree and long the river bluffs they sculpted 14 conical animal effigy mounds from which this cemetery would later take its name.

In November of 1851, city officials purchased the first acres of Mound Cemetery to create a public cemetery. Since its dedication it has grown to encompass about 58 acres, Centrally located at 1147 West Boulevard, Mound Cemetery is now the resting area for many notable figures including business leaders who put Racine on the world map, heroes from the Civil War as well as World Wars I and II, former mayors and political figures.
