The Bohemian National Cemetery

One of the oldest resting places in Chicago, the Bohemian National Cemetery was established in 1877 as a result of a communal effort to represent Czech culture.
When Marie Silhanek, a Czech woman, was denied burial at a number of Catholic cemeteries across the city, the Czech community came together to purchase land in North Park and formed a cemetery based in their own ethnic heritage. The cemetery is a grand representation of culture and the power of resilience, now spanning over 126 acres. The grounds showcase a blend of classical influences and personal, reinterpreted features.
Often overlooked, its story is not to be unheard and its beauty is not to be missed.
