Cedar Hill Cemetery Faux-Bois Sculptures

Suitland-Silver Hill, MD

Cedar Hill Cemetery contains a surprising group of 1930s faux-bois concrete sculptures by Dionicio Rodriguez, made to resemble gnarled trees, logs and rustic wooden structures. The cemetery also contains a mass grave connected to the deadly 1906 Terra Cotta railroad wreck, giving the grounds an unusually layered history.
