St. Agnes Cemetery
St. Agnes Cemetery, established in 1867, is a 108-acre (44 ha) Roman Catholic cemetery operated for the purposes of the Roman Catholic Church through the burial and place of memorial for the faithful departed. Located in Menands, New York, St. Agnes is one of the New York Capital Region's most active cemeteries. St. Agnes Cemetery is managed and cared for by Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Consecrated in 1867, St. Agnes Cemetery displays the characteristics of the rural cemetery movement. Like other landscapes of this genre, St. Agnes Cemetery was designed to portray order, symmetry, and peace. As places to stroll and meditate in a tranquil setting, rural cemeteries were precursors to public parks. The history of the Capital Region is written on the memorials which dot the hills and glens of St. Agnes Cemetery. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
