Forest Hills is a historic cemetery located in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed in 1848 as a 250-acre park and arboretum as well as a burial ground, it helped inspire Frederick Law Olmsted's Emerald Necklace a generation later. Visitors discover a grand Victorian landscape filled with treasures of 19th century art and architecture, a green oasis shaded by magnificent canopy trees, and a sanctuary for birds and urban wildlife.
The non-profit Forest Hills Educational Trust presents innovative cultural programs in this extraordinary setting, including: exhibitions of contemporary art, concerts and poetry readings, walking tours, the Buddhist-inspired Lantern Festival and a traditional Mexican Day of the Dead.
