Lexington Cemetery was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (the guy who designed Central Park) and is the defacto nicest "park" in the city. It was not uncommon a generation or 2 ago to find folks having a picnic after sunday church in the plots with their deceased relatives. It really is a beautiful place and you still see folks walking and jogging the varied paths.

If your family has deep roots in the SEC you may find some of your ancient relatives buried here. Same for Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville which is much bigger but not as pretty.
