About this property

The Monongahela Cemetery is an historic rural cemetery in Monongahela, Pennsylvania that was established in 1863. Landscape architects Hare & Hare designed a portion of the property. The cemetery was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The cemetery now occupies 160 acres, but only about 100 acres are included in the National Register listing. John Chislett designed the original thirty-two-acre plot in the rural cemetery tradition.

The five-acre St. Mary's Cemetery was opened circa 1900 and was incorporated into the 1915 expansion.
