About this property

Grandview Cemetery is a cemetery in Chillicothe, Ohio. Grandview Cemetery (originally spelled Grand View as two words) was established around 1841. The ground the cemetery stands on looks down upon the valleys of the Scioto River and Paint Creek, with a panoramic view of the city of Chillicothe. The land for Grandview was purchased outside of the city limits of Chillicothe in order to provide a more restful setting for the new cemetery (one of the burial grounds it replaced later became the site of a railroad depot). Grandview Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. One British Commonwealth war grave, of Captain Charles H. Becker of the East Surrey Regiment of World War I.
