Oaklawn, a prominent physician and philanthropist, established the gardens as a tribute to his family and a reflection of the area’s natural beauty.

The site has undergone several alterations and additions over the years, including expansions to accommodate a growing number of burials and the incorporation of new landscaping features. Oaklawn Memorial Gardens became a cherished landmark within the town of Winston-Salem, and continues to serve as a significant historical and memorial site.

It’s an important part of the Forsyth County area.

The gardens are affiliated with Saints Delight Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery and Glenn View Baptist Church Cemetery.
