One of the most important parts of the grand, long-term vision of the site was the establishment of the Woodland Cemetery Association of Dayton. Its 5 member board of trustees, 4 members and a president, would manage the cemetery by auctioning plots, maintaining grounds, and protecting it from encroachment and vandalism. Woodland is a private, non-profit cemetery. Because of this, it charges for plots for its burials. The money is well spent, however, and ensures the long term care and longevity of the whole site, including personal care of each plot. The funds are used for maintenance of the gravestones, crypts, and monuments, while the majority goes to landscaping and grass cutting. With over 200 acres now under its care, Woodland’s grass-cutting task is enormous in the non-winter seasons. Woodland is following what the founders wanted, a cemetery that is, “for the plot holders and the citizens to enjoy.” [1] The site of Woodland itself also has an interesting geologic history. Ab
