Our Book

Cave Hill Cemetery
A Pictorial Guide and Its History- 2000
By: Samuel W. Thomas

Mr. Thomas wrote our original historical book in 1985 and it was a great success. This edition has sold out and he has updated his original version with eight new pages of history and recent changes within Cave Hill. Many new pictures have been added and the original pictures have been enhanced through computer graphics and improved printing techniques. This 132 page hardbound book contains both color and black and white photos that show Cave Hill’s 153 year development since 1848. Many of the most beautiful and ornate monuments are pictured. Louisville's most prominent citizens are buried in Cave Hill, their lives are chronicled in this book.

The significance of the arboretum within Cave Hill is explained and we also have available our Plants of Distinction full color brochure that may be purchased in addition to the book. It includes a map showing the location of many of our beautiful trees.

Both of these publications will make great gifts for yourself or history buffs and tree lovers of your acquaintance.
