There is no aspect of American history that can’t be interpreted through Mount Hope Cemetery, and that is especially so with the architects and architectural history of Rochester and the surrounding region. Architecture is the art we see every day, and Mount Hope is a veritable museum of architecture, with its own collection of significant buildings and monuments. It is also the final resting place of the architects, builders, and important clients who determined the built environment of our area.
