Riverside Cemetery is located on 87 shady acres and offers a journey through Asheville's history on smooth, paved trails. These paths wind past over a dozen family mausoleums and impressive statues. Designed in the park-like Victorian style in 1885, it serves as the final resting place for some of Asheville's most prominent citizens, including the famous novelist Thomas Wolfe. It’s a lovely spot to explore this serene landscape while discovering traces of Asheville's early days.
