ABOUT THIS CEMETERY
About Rock Creek Cemetery
Washington's oldest cemetery, famous for Augustus Saint-Gaudens' 'Grief' memorial. Its 86 rolling acres predate the city itself. Memor helps visitors find historic and family graves alike.
Laid out on land originally granted in 1719, Rock Creek is older than the District of Columbia itself. Augustus Saint-Gaudens' 1891 bronze figure — commissioned by Henry Adams for his wife's grave — is considered one of the greatest pieces of memorial art in America and draws art historians annually.
