Three blocks northeast of New Haven Green is Grove Street Cemetery, a beautiful final resting place for such eminent New Haven citizens as cotton-gin inventor Eli Whitney, lexicographer Noah Webster, and rubber-vulcanizer Charles Goodyear. The cemetery's monumental Egyptian Revival main gate resembles a pylon from a Nile temple—a suitable symbol of eternal rest. On the wall of the chapel just inside the gate is a guide to finding the graves of many of the eminent New Haveners entombed here, as well as starting times for the occasional walking tours of this beautiful park.
