Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Omaha, Nebraska)

It was established in 1885 when the mutual Forest Lawn Cemetery Association was donated 100 acres (0.40 km2) in northwest of the city.

The present area of 349 acres (1.41 km2) is designed according to a park-type plan, with rolling hills, forests and lawns.

[3] Soon after Forest Lawn was opened, Omaha's pioneer burying place, Prospect Hill Cemetery, stopped being used.

Shortly thereafter Prospect Hill's owner, Byron Reed, sold it to Forest Lawn in the 1890s.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park has been the location of several notable historic buildings, including a chapel, mausoleum, caretaker's residence, lagoon and bridge, and two large greenhouses.
