United States
Приєднався 27 вер 2012
Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum is a key cultural institution in St. Louis, offering visitors a beautiful atmosphere for exploring history, art, architecture, and nature. BCA is Missouri’s first, and one of only 47 Level III Arboretums globally, while surrounded by incredible fall foliage. Our rolling hills make this closed course a fun, and memorable experience as you walk or run through the cemetery.
We are celebrating our 175th anniversary this year. Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum has been the final resting place for many of St. Louis’s notable figures, including Priscilla Baltimore, General William Clark, Sarah Teasdale, and Adolphus Busch. You will find world-renowned architecture such as the Wainwright Mausoleum, our historic Hotchkiss Chapel, and the “Girl in the Glass Box” nestled among our 14 miles of roadway. A diverse collection of over 10,000 trees and shrub varieties dot the landscape, making an enjoyable run/walk through history and nature.

We recognize the special place that moms and other female role models have in our lives. I found this quote, and it really hit home as I reflect on the amazing women who have touched my life who are no longer with me and the incredible women with us at Bellefontaine. “Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of yo...

The ordinarily peaceful grounds of Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum rattled with thunder and strong winds last weekend as heavy storms rolled through St. Louis. As century-old trees fell to the ground, the cemetery trembled with a force that left our beautiful grounds in disarray. Scores of big, beautiful trees fell to their demise, impacting our normally smooth operations. As St. Louisans,...

Happy Mother’s Day! Great job, Sal!
Thanks for this video. I'm planting an Autumn Brilliance serviceberry in my home yard, and the other videos on youtube don't really show a bigger mature plant like yours. Such a beautiful habit.
🤤 promo sm
Well done!
This cemetery has done an excellent job at marketing itself via STL's rich history ❤
Thank you Dan!
Good job Dan !!!
Good job guys!!!
Thank you Sherry!!!
Good work Dan!
Thanks Dan!
My mother Alice Marie Parris is buried here!
Thank you Dan!!!!
I remember what damage this has broke to St. Louis plus the power outage, but just across the river in Alton Illinois there wasn't even any rain that day.
Wow, John Berry Meachum is my hero and he is also from my city of St. Louis. Thanks for this history
Oh no, this is so sad 😢
So very sad. They can never be replaced.
Great service to the community is provided with these clips. Thank you.
What a lovely and comforting gesture.
Thank you
Thank you
Will stop by for a visit. Thank you
What a nice thing to do and comfort others.
I like them as is presented in the video. Not a nice yard tree.
What a nice thing to do.
Thank you
The Wainwright building is stunning, even haunting. Part "spiritual planetarium", part oriental temple, part solemn tomb; it seems a miniature reinterpretation of Boullee's fanciful, never-built, mammoth cenotaph plan for Isaac Newton's remains.
Just beautiful
This presentation is superb. The messages and music very poignant. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you all involved.
Thank you for the mention of Mrs. Benton and her contribution to history.
Thank-you
Thank you
The history of your ancestors - especially the women and their work for women's suffrage is inspirational as well as being historically significant! It gives me hope, determination and patience for the work we have to do in our world today. Thank you!
I am a Fordyce ❤️
Fort Benton, Montana was named after the distinguished senator as well.
The history to be found at Bellefontaine is beyond amazing. Thank you for sharing this story.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Betsy!! What a determined, intelligent, hard working lineage you come from!! I loved this! Thank you for sharing it
A fascinating and beautifully informed narrative of four generations of women's rights advocates. It shows that a value for human rights does not come out of thin air but from generations of struggle. I'm touched by the sheer determination of these women, by their evident influence on their families and culture, and by the importance of education to their stories. We take so much for granted today that they had to fight for. Thank you, Betsy, for this remarkable statement.
Most interesting. Well done Betsy, and thank you.
Very interesting
Serviceberry (genus Amelanchier) is a great tree! However, the idea that it got the common name "serviceberry" from springtime funeral "services" is a myth. The common name "serviceberry" or "sarvisberry" arose because the berries of Amelanchier trees resemble the fruits of (unrelated) trees in the genus Sorbus. Some trees in the genus Sorbus came to be called "service" or "sarvis" when the original Latin-based name migrated into English.
Thank you
Beautiful very beautiful!!!!
Stunning thank you from NZ
It was nice to see 🌹. May they all REST IN PEACE 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I have seen this mausoleum and it is just beautiful. The spike is a replica od the spike that was on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. There are only 2 people buried in this mausoleum I believe. There are other family members buried behind the mausoleum.
Tremendous
