点评:In my travels, I have visited some of the grandest cemeteries in the world, from Paris' Pere-Lachaise to Los Angeles' Hollywood Forever Cemetery to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. The conversation also must include Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. Located at 4001 North Clark Street in the city's Uptown neighborhood, bordered on the south by Irving Park Road, north of Wrigley Field, it was founded in 1860 and owes its design and exceptional natural beauty to two 19th century landscape architects, H.W.S. Cleveland and William Le Baron Jenney. The oldest gravestone belongs to John Kinzie, the first permanent white settler in Chicago, who died in 1828. Over the years, Graceland has grown to cover 119 acres and has come to be known as the "Cemetery of Architects" for the renowned architects who are buried there and for the many magnificent burial sites. Such as Potter Palmer and Bertha Palmer's Greek Temple, Getty Tomb, Martin Ryerson's Mastaba, William Goodman's Mausoleum, Marshall Field's Memorial and Peter Schoenhofen's Pyramid. And more noted figures are buried there than anywhere east of Hollywood Forever. The list includes Ernie Banks, Minnie Minoso, Jack Johnson, George Pullman, Phlllip Armour, Cyrus McCormick, Joseph Medill, Alan Pinkerton, Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Graceland is open to the public during the fall and winter months from 8 to 4 Monday through Friday and 9 to 4 on Saturday and Sunday.
