Established in 1864, the Woodlawn Cemetery of Elmira is a well-maintained, active cemetery that welcomes visitors who want to go for a walk and pay their respects to the deceased. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, and a number of well-known public figures are buried here, most notably the author Mark Twain, his wife Olivia Langdon Clemens, and a handful of members of the United States Congress. Within the grounds is also a distinct cemetery known as the Woodlawn National Cemetery, which was established to bury Confederate prisoners during the American Civil War.
