About Mount Hope Cemetery
Lansing, MI 48910
Mount Hope Cemetery welcomes thousands of visitors every year from near and far. Most visit loved ones, while many come to experience the historic and peaceful nature of the cemetery.
In April of 1871, the people of Lansing voted on a bond issue to purchase the land we know today as Mt. Hope Cemetery. A special committee recommended the Miller Farm, and the property was then purchased from John and Rebecca Miller at a cost of $8,000.
In November of 1873, the cemetery was officially named Mt. Hope Cemetery after a cemetery located in New York where many of the pioneers originally came. Mt. Hope Cemetery is comprised of approximately 82 acres.
There are many interesting and historical interments, monuments and special grave sites located within Mt. Hope Cemetery. Among some of the most interesting are the R.E. Olds Mausoleum, the Spanish American, World War I Veteran Memorial, and the unknown Fireman Monument.
Mt. Hope Cemetery is easily recognizable by its framed white arch entrance way that leads every visitor through the winding and hilly grounds with large and notable monuments and markers.
