Bellefontaine Cemetery contains men and women who played important roles in the history of our country. 

Whether you are a history enthusiast, working on a project or just curious, explore our Timeline, where you can begin learning about people who helped shape our country both locally and nationally. Visit the Timeline here.

To find out even more information, we invite you to stop by Bellefontaine for a walking or driving tour of our grounds, where you can see the graves of these influential individuals up close.

In addition, throughout the years we have collected newspaper clippings, photographs, brochures and more pertaining to the individuals interred at Bellefontaine, both well known and not. As we continue to catalog this information, we encourage you to stop by our office and find out more about a particular person.
