Bayview Cemetery was founded in 1887 when the town of Whatcom purchased a 10-acre plot on the outskirts of town on “the wagon road to the lake.” We’ll discuss what came before, how the cemetery got started and how it’s grown over time. We’ll explore the older sections of the cemetery and visit some of the most intriguing monuments. We’ll say hello to a lot of interesting folks who were laid to eternal rest over a century ago.

We are offering some fun virtual events in conjunction with Bellingham Parks and Recreation for your autumnal enjoyment! A great option at half-price our normal tours and you don’t have to leave your couch! Some fun seasonal content including Bayview Cemetery history, spooky historical tales live from Woodstock Farms, and those mysterious Fairhaven Markers!
