3rd Street (also known as US 41), runs north-south through Terre Haute. It is one of the busiest streets in Terre Haute. Woodlawn Cemetery's entrance is on 3rd street. An aluminum (iron production) fence surrounds the cemetery on the Third Street side. All other sides of the cemetery are surrounded by a chain link fence. There is a pedestrian gate on 8th Avenue (north side of the cemetery) to access the cemetery. I believe there is another pedestrian gate on the south side of the cemetery. However, the pedestrian gates may be locked sometimes.

Calavary Cemetery (also in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana) houses the records for St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, which is located inside Woodlawn Cemetery. Calvary Cemetery provided me with a map of the burial sections for St. Joseph Cemetery when I requested one in March 2002.

I believe Highland Lawn Cemetery, also in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana,  houses the rest of Woodlawn Cemetery's records. They also have a wonderful brochure of valuable information regarding historic Woodlawn Cemetery. The brochure  includes the history of the cemetery, as well as grave plots and information regarding well known people buried within Woodlawn Cemetery.

You may wish to contact the following cemeteries, if you are looking for a certain grave in Woodlawn Cemetery, as I believe the records are housed in various places.
