Caravan TourJoin us for a guided caravan tour! Drive along in your car and follow the caravan led by our Master Guide Cathleen. We will drive to four different locations inside historic Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. At each location, we will all exit our vehicles and Cathleen will give us a tour through history!
First, we’ll visit a U.S. Senator involved in a duel on Bloody Island. Also, we’ll check out the Father of Digestion as well as a Medal of Honor recipient. Next stop, we’ll view the Busch Mausoleum and several riverboat pilots. William Clark’s memorial will be our next stop. It’s a large monument dedicated to his heroic efforts on the Voyage of Discovery. The last destination is Prospect Avenue. This is where the St. Louis movers and shakers of the early 1900s are buried. We will go into the Wainwright and Lemp Mausoleums. Bellefontaine Cemetery is a place to find inspiration and a place to honor life.

Beer Barons at Bellefontaine CemeteryJoin us for a ZOOM presentation about Bellefontaine’s Beer Barons! Beer making has been part of the St. Louis scene since the mid-1800s, and more than 60 Beer Barons are buried at Bellefontaine. The city became a leader in beer production because of our location, lots of clean water, unique cave systems used to lager beer, and a heavy migration of Germans who helped make and consume the product. Our presentation will focus on eleven of the more provocative Barons. Some well-known include Busch, Anheuser, and Lemp, as well as less prominent names like Max Feuerbacher and William Nolker.
