Historic Cemeteries of Portland Book

Historic Cemeteries of Portland reveals some of the city’s most beautiful and often overlooked cultural treasures. These peaceful greenspaces are rich with history, mystery, and unexpected stories, making them ideal places for walking, biking, and birding.

Explore 25 historic burial grounds featuring striking public art in the form of tombstones as diverse as the Portlanders they honor, from suffragists and spiritualists to Romani kings, politicians, and even murderers. Along the way, discover surprising tales, including a photographer from Broadway’s Golden Age and a celebrity orangutan.

Join cemetery sleuths Teresa Bergen and Heide Davis as they uncover the fascinating, sometimes eerie stories that illuminate Portland’s remarkable past.
