History
- The scenic rolling hills of Lindenwood Cemetery were originally covered with linden trees which gave the cemetery its name. Lindenwood Cemetery was created in July 1859 on land that had been purchased from the Potawatomi Indians. It opened to the public on May 30, 1860. The entrance to the cemetery was completed in 1884. Most of Fort Wayne's Founding Fathers are buried at Lindenwood as well as hundreds of Civil War soldiers. There are over 69,000 interments on 175 acres making it one of the largest cemeteries in Indiana.[1]
