Grandview Cemetery is a cemetery in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Grandview Cemetery (originally spelled Grand View as two words) was established around 1841. [2] The ground the cemetery stands on looks down upon the valleys of the Scioto River and Paint Creek, with a panoramic view of the city of Chillicothe. [2] The land for Grandview was purchased outside of the city limits of Chillicothe in order to provide a more restful setting for the new cemetery (one of the burial grounds it replaced later became the site of a railroad depot). [2]
Grandview Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [1]

Head and shoulders above them all stood Edward Tiffin. His official life displayed a better general average of statesmanship than that of any of his successors. ... His work in advancing and developing Ohio has not been equalled by any man in its history.
