Every visit to Mountain View Cemetery is like a trip back in time. It is like shaking hands with railroad builder Charles Crocker, admiring the brushwork of Yosemite landscape painter Thomas Hill, and hearing architect Julia Morgan rhapsodize about her designs for Hearst Castle.
Designed by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (whose other credits include New York’s Central Park), Mountain View’s acreage offers spectacular vistas of the San Francisco Bay’s surrounding areas. The cemetery is an impressive repository of local and state history.
Mountain View is located at the end of Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California nestled against the East Bay hills.
