Decatur Cemetery, spanning approximately 54 acres, is a significant green space in the City of Decatur. The cemetery features historically important landscaping and monuments, particularly in the 7.5-acre Old Section, which houses headstones dating back to the early 1800s. It is the final resting place of many notable figures from Decatur and Georgia's history, including politicians, educators, authors, and soldiers from various conflicts. Visitors can explore the cemetery through a self-guided walking tour or join guided tours offered by the Friends of Decatur Cemetery during the spring and summer months. Dogs on leashes are welcome, but they must remain on the roadways.
