Tour Riverside Cemetery

Riverside Cemetery is not just a place where families come to visit a friend or a loved one. It is a place of beauty – a place where you can walk, take photographs, paint and visit the grave sites of prominent writers Thomas Wolfe and O. Henry.

Riverside Cemetery also offers visitors a unique journey into Asheville’s past. Both guided and self-guided walking tour information is available. Tours offer insight into cultural diversity, archi- tecture, religious customs, and landscape design. More than 20,000 visitors tour the cemetery each year.
