Estimated Tour time: 30 min (driving) 1 hr+ (walking)
Audio: 30 minutes
Tour Route Length: 1.5 miles
# of tracks: 26 tracks (25 stops)
Inside the gates are stone-carved figures that seem to droop in sorrow, gaze out upon the landscape or reach to the heavens in a show of grief unfamiliar in our modern times, reminders of how precious life really is, and how peaceful it can be even in the midst of a thriving neighborhood.
Stone or marble mausoleums, monuments to entire families, dot Riverside’s landscape, incorporating colorful stained glass windows and ornate doorways within their solemn architecture. Here the famous and the humble rest together: financier and pauper, Christian and Jew, black and white, soldier and civilian, the powerful and the meek. Learn the stories behind some of the 13,000 people who rest here.
Asheville’s character was built on the shoulders of these residents of Riverside and your tour will reveal some of their stories.
