Founded in 1878, The Homewood Cemetery is part of the American Cemetery Movement of the 1800’s. Graveyards, churchyards, and family burial grounds were the first types of burial sites created by European settlers in America. By the 1820’s, American towns were turning into cities. People were leaving farm life for the opportunity to work at the first factories of the industrial revolution. It wasn’t long before demands for both living and burial space became acute.
