Greendale Cemetery is a public, non-profit rural cemetery in Meadville, Pennsylvania, a final resting place for many notable people such as a Supreme Court Justice, several congressmen, inventors and soldiers. The original cemetery was established in 1811 on a piece of land deeded by the city founder David Mead, in the heart of the growing city. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the cemetery became too small and its location downtown forced the city to relocate it. In 1852 the remains in the original Cemetery were disinterred and moved to the current location. The individual grave markers were also moved. The archway was built in 1865 and in 1874, the receiving vault was built. In 1875 Herman Munz was hired to landscape the grounds, and as a result more than 1500 rhododendrons decorate the grounds.
