Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum isn’t just a place of rest, it’s a place of life, history, and breathtaking beauty. Spanning 314 acres with more than 9,000 trees, shrubs, and flowers, the cemetery is one of only 50 level-three accredited arboretums in the world.
Sydney Jones of Missouri Life Magazine takes us through the winding trails, streams, and centuries-old trees, and tells the stories that Bellefontaine holds to some of Missouri’s most legendary figures, making it both a natural sanctuary and a living museum of St. Louis history.
