About This Event

Come learn about the lives of many important Atlantans while enjoying beautiful sculptures and historic structures

Come learn about the lives of many important Atlantans like Joel Chandler Harris, Lemuel Pratt Grant, Donald Lee Hollowell, Asa Candler and Harriett Harwell Wilson High while enjoying beautiful sculptures and historic structures. Tours will include the 1890 Gatehouse and, time-permitting, the massive Spanish Plateresque Westview Abbey and chapel. Prepare to be awestruck by the beauty and many layers of history this site represents.

When Westview opened in October of 1884 with nearly six-hundred acres of land, it was designed to be the premier cemetery in the Southeast. It is still an active cemetery with more than 125,000 interments. Westview remains the largest cemetery in the Southeast and one of the largest non-profit cemeteries in the United States.

  • If the event is full, please sign up for the waiting list. You will be notified if a spot becomes available.
  • Please meet in the parking lot outside the gatehouse.
  • The tour will last approximately two hours and consists of a 1.5 mile walk (with one steep hill).
  • Public restrooms are not available.
