I was thinking about trying to find Oakwood Cemetery this weekend. Do you (or does anyone else) know the times that you can access the cemetery? I'm assuming that it is closed during the evening hours (especially with Halloween coming up and kids doing crazy things), but I was wondering how early in the day I could get in there.

Thanks,
Thanks

The sign at the gate says it closes at 6:00pm.

To get there take Henderson North to the intersection of Henderson/University/Northside Dr. Turn right onto Northside Dr and go 1 block and turn right onto Grand. You can't miss it. It'll be on your right a couple of block away..
