This is a large cemetery that must have tours run through as I saw about 30 tour stop signs through-out the park/cemetery. I was excited to find the grave of Gordon Macrae Rodgers and Hammerstein, star of Oklahoma and Carousel. There are many Lincoln historical figures such as congressmen and governors. There is also the grave of Starkweather, a convicted and executed murderer, though I chose not to seek this grave out. There is a beautiful memorial for each war, a gorgeous firefighter memorial, and a piece of the twin towers. The cemetery doubles as a park, and I read that you can see plays and other performances in the pavilion.
