Mountain Grove Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States, was laid out in 1849 in the then popular rural cemetery design in a park-like, rural setting away from the center of the city.
The cemetery was founded by showman P. T. Barnum, who himself is buried there.[1] "The original grounds were surveyed and designed by Horatio Stone and Mr. [John] Moody," the cemetery's first superintendent.[2]
