The Woodlands features one of the most architecturally significant mansions in America, its Carriage House, and an active Rural Cemetery which was incorporated in 1840. The pathways and avenues of the cemetery and mansion comprise the Woodlands Heritage National Recreation Trail. The entire property is a National Historic Landmark. Today visitors may enjoy an educational tour of this beautiful building and grounds, including internationally renowned gardens and plant collections, and the Cemetery. The bodies of many noteworthy Americans are interred at the Woodlands. To mention a few: Joseph Campbell, founder of the Campbell Soup Company; noted artist, Thomas Eakins; Ebenezer Maxwell, whose mansion stands as a museum in Germantown; and Civil War general, John Joseph Abercrombie.
