Calvary Cemetery - Milwaukee, WI
Calvary Cemetery is the oldest existing Roman Catholic cemetery in Milwaukee. It was designated a Milwaukee Landmark in 1981.
The Friends of Calvary Cemetery are working to restore the chapel (http://www.friendsofcalvarycemetery.org/). But in the meantime, the grounds are laden with beautiful paths to walk on a peaceful day. There's plenty of Milwaukee history here, but the views are stunning, too. Lots of birds in the trees, beautiful statuary, and even a view of County Stadium from atop the hill at the chapel. Hawks and owls are often seen here, as well as northern flickers, nuthatches, and plenty of other songbirds, too.
Location: 5503 W. Bluemound Road, Milwaukee, WI (Milwaukee County)
