Biographies
Since 1860, Graceland
Cemetery has been the focus of architects and planners – so much so that
it’s usually defined by its association with and final resting place of
many members of the renowned style of the Chicago School of Architecture. Graceland
also shines historically, having attracted many of Chicago’s most prominent
families and some of the world’s most famous citizens. The list of famous,
as well as infamous, Chicagoans is so impressive, we’re pleased to help
you get to know many of them here on our website.
To help you locate
many of Graceland’s famous Chicagoans and identify their monuments and
