Allegheny Cemetery was created to be far more than the typical country burying grounds of that age. Located in the middle of Lawrenceville, Allegheny Cemetery is the oldest institution of its kind west of the Allegheny Mountains. The Cemetery was founded in 1844 and is the sixth rural incorporated cemetery in the United States. In 1980, the Cemetery was accepted on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its distinguished history and unique character. Today, Allegheny Cemetery remains one of the largest cemeteries in the nation with 300 acres and 15 miles of paved roadways. Over 117,000 members of Pittsburgh's families are now resting in Allegheny Cemetery.
