Like Mount Auburn Cemetery (1831), near Boston, Mount Hope was designed to meet the mid-19th century city dweller's desire for access to a romanticized rural landscape. Ponds, bowers, grottos and a variety of plantings, along with tombs and monuments, typify a landscape consciously designed for the living, as well as the dead. Many of Maine's statesmen, military and civic leaders are entombed in style in Mount Hope Cemetery, which is also the final resting place of some of the infamous characters whose colorful legends still survive.</div> <div><br /> &nbsp;</div> <span class="subhdr"> <div style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"> <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Meet:</span> Cemetery Superintendent's Office, 1048 State Street <br /> </div></span> <div style="MARGIN-LEFT: 40px"> <span class="subhdr">&nbsp;</span></div> <span class="subhdr"> <div> <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"> <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Fee:</span> $7 non-members, Free to BMHC members, Children under 12 free</span></div> <div> <span style="FONT-STYLE: normal;
