Forest Home Cemetery & Arboretum is a historic Victorian garden cemetery located in Milwaukee's Lincoln Village neighborhood. Milwaukee's oldest cemetery, Forest Home has been non-denominational since its inception in 1850. As the only arboretum in the City of Milwaukee, we feature more than 100 species of trees. We welcome visitors every day of the year from dawn to dusk - bring your bike, a picnic or your leashed dog. We offer historical tours from May through October, a large community-based Dia de los Muertos 5K and festival, a Memorial Day commemoration, Shakespeare in the Park, birding events, tree plantings and tours, and our new after-dark theatrical tours in October.
