History

Cave Hill was chartered in 1848 on what was William Johnston's Cave Hill Farm, then a rural property some distance east of Louisville. Johnston, who died in 1798, had built the first brick house in Louisville on the grounds circa 1788. City officials had purchased part of the land in the 1830s in anticipation of building a railroad through it, and a workhouse was built there. The railroad was built elsewhere, and the land was leased to local farmers.

In 1846, Mayor Frederick A. Kaye began investigating the possibility of developing a garden-style cemetery on the grounds, a popular concept at the time. Hartford, Connecticut civil engineer Edmund Francis Lee was hired, who planned a cemetery with winding paths, graves across the tops of hills, and lakes and ponds in the valleys. The Cave Hill Cemetery Co. was chartered in February 1848, and the cemetery was dedicated on July 25, 1848. Before the era of large municipal parks, it was common for cities to promote a garden cemetery as a green oasis and recreation destination, and Louisville was no exception. This largely ended with the opening of Cherokee Park in 1892.^[1] Frederick A. Kaye (April 21, 1796 - April 29, 1866) was the fourth and sixth mayor of Louisville, Kentucky. ...

Johnston's farmhouse (in what is now sections 33 and 34) was converted to the city's pesthouse, and was demolished in 1872. Also in 1872, Beechhurst Sanitarium was built near the pesthouse and the modern Grinstead entrance entrance. Beechurst was torn down in 1936. In the past, a pest house or pesthouse was a hospital or hostel used for persons afflicted with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, or smallpox. ...

The grounds were expanded and remapped in 1888 to their modern size of nearly 300 acres. In the 1980s razor wire was added to the brick walls surrounding Cave Hill to keep out after-hours visitors. Image:Scheermes-prikkeldraad. ...

Other buildings include the stone office building near the lake, and the Rustic Shelter House built in 1892 at a cost of $565.

The middle fork of Beargrass Creek runs through Cave Hill, and a source stream flowing into the creek roughly divides the cemetery in new (eastern) and old (western) sections. That stream flows from a spring near the cave that gave the property its name. The cave can be entered for about 30 feet, and then there is a marginal amount of crawl space beyond that, however the cave is officially off limits. There are also five man-made lakes. Middle fork of Beargrass Creek in Cherokee Park, near Big Rock Beargrass Creek is the name given to several forks of a creek in Jefferson County, Kentucky. ...
