The original 82-acre cemetery was designed in 1859 by master landscape architect, Howard Daniels (1815-1864), a contemporary of Andrew Jackson Downing and Frederick Law Olmstead. Daniels’ design of Oakwood emphasized the pastoral, picturesque qualities of the scenery as they could be enhanced by plan and design or enhanced in existing or introduced plantings; obtrusive lot enclosures such as cast iron fences were excluded from the design. Oakwood Cemetery is character- ized by over 300 varieties of trees and shrubs; many of the mature trees predate the establishment of the cemetery. The cemetery contains numerous intact examples of funerary art and architecture throughout the period of significance with many examples by well-known regional architects, includ- ing Horatio Nelson White, Archimedes Russell, and Joseph Lyman Silsbee and artists such as stone sculptor John C. Esser, stone carver James Sharkey, and metal sculptor, Eli Harvey.
