The Old Cemetery

Cemetery Hours:
The Cemetery is FREE and open to the public every day of the year, dawn to dusk. Unless ice and snow make the driveway impassable, the Cemetery gates are always open between dawn and dusk.

Office Hours:
The Cemetery Center, which houses the office of the Southern Memorial Association and the Old City Cemetery, is open every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., March through October. During the winter (November through February) the Center is closed on Sundays. We always welcome visits by appointment on days when our office is closed, or before or after office hours.

Museum Hours:
The Mourning Museum (inside the Cemetery Center) is open for drop-in visits whenever the Cemetery Center is open (see above). Tours of the Mourning Museum are free of charge. The Pest House, Hearse House, Station House, and Chapel are open all day for self-guided exterior tours, using brochures and audio recordings. Interior tours of these four museums are by appointment only, for a fee of $5 per adult and $2 per child ($30 minimum).

The entrance to the Old City Cemetery is located at the corner of Fourth and Taylor Streets in downtown Lynchburg.
