It’s not very often that you find a cemetery on a list of things to see and do for a location, but Eufaula isn’t any old place and the Fairview Cemetery and Arboretum isn’t any old cemetery. This particular cemetery was established in 1868 and was laid out by the renowned Olmsted Brothers, who were famous park planners in their day. Throughout the grounds you will find over a hundred different species of trees, many of which were catalogued by biology professor Dr. Tom Ombrello, who worked diligently until the cemetery was accepted as a member of the American Public Gardens Association and received official arboretum status. Visitors are welcome to tour the grounds and its beautiful foliage throughout the year and an arboretum walking tour is led by Dr. Ombrello himself every year.
