In Short – Established in 1860, Graceland is one of Chicago's best-known and historic cemeteries. With its beautiful park-like atmosphere, and monuments designed by noted sculptors and architects, this place is a relaxing retreat from the buzzing city. Some of the well-known political figures and prominent citizens interred here include Marshall Field, Daniel Burnham, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, George Pullman and Potter Palmer.
