A place for every Clevelander from
every walk of life
The stories of the residents of Riverside Cemetery tell the history of Cleveland. Here at Riverside, one can wander among the monuments to those whose own unique lives remain an inspiration to their loved ones.
At Riverside, you can visit:
Robert Lockwood, a Grammy Award-winning blues legend
Linda Eastman, the first woman head librarian of the Cleveland Public Library and the first woman ever to hold that position in a library of that size
Imam Clyde Rahman who built Cleveland’s first mosque from the ground up, making the first built by a predominantly African American congregation
Florence H Oldenburg, a pioneer in civic and medical leadership
Avery Hopwood, an internationally known playwright, author, and avid traveler of the early 1900s
And many, many more…
