Forest Home Cemetery, 2405 W. Forest Home Avenue, is the final resting place for many of Milwaukee’s most prominent political figures, businessmen, military veterans, pioneering women and black leaders. Increase Lapham, Wisconsin’s first naturalist/scientist, designed Forest Home Cemetery in 1850. It was one of Milwaukee’s first landscaped sites and is considered one of the “finest examples of a rural garden cemetery in the Upper Midwest.” In addition, the notable Milwaukee architectural firm of Ferry & Clas designed the cemetery’s landmark English Gothic chapel.
