Louisville’s Cave Hill Cemetery will be featured this month on the program World’s Greatest Cemeteries, which reveals the stories behind some of the nation’s most beautiful and intriguing burial grounds.

The cemetery, built in 1848, features a 300-acre Victorian arboretum and birding space and holds the graves of a number of famous Kentuckians, including boxer Muhammad Ali, Colonel Harland Sanders, suffragist Susan Look Avery and Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark.

The World’s Greatest Cemeteries episode, filmed during the summer of 2022, tours Cave Hill’s grounds and visits with Yolanda Ali, Muhammad Ali’s widow, as well as the arborist and other cemetery officials who maintain the historic property.
