The website of Oakland Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio now features a self-guided walking tour. The brochure is available online here.Read this brochure to learn about the early leaders of Sandusky, artists, abolitionists, a talented photographer, and the many beautiful monuments at Oakland Cemetery.
This poignant passage from the April 20, 1850 Sandusky Clarion, which also appears at Oakland Cemetery's website reads:
