The Monongahela Cemetery is an historic rural cemetery in Monongahela, Pennsylvania that was established in 1863. Landscape architects Hare & Hare designed a portion of the property.[2]
The cemetery was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[3]
The cemetery now occupies 160 acres, but only about 100 acres are included in the National Register listing. John Chislett designed the original thirty-two-acre plot in the rural cemetery tradition. Roughly sixty acres were added to the grounds in 1915 and were designed in the lawn park style by Hare & Hare. The five-acre St. Mary's Cemetery was opened circa 1900 and was incorporated into the 1915 expansion.[3]
