A wreath-laying ceremony is held every summer at the grave of President Benjamin Harrison to commemorate his August 20, 1833, birthday.

Adjacent to the Harrisons is author/playwright Booth Tarkington, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes. Business leaders include Lyman S. Ayres, who founded the L. S. Ayres Department Store in 1874; Eli Lilly, who launched the pharmaceutical company of the same name in 1876; and banker William H. English, who built the English Hotel and Theater. Sports figures range from Edward “Cannonball” Baker, who won the first race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and drove in the first Indy 500, to Robert Irsay, who brought the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis in 1984.

Crown Hill Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. A list of notables buried on the grounds is available at: http://www.crownhillhf.org/whoshere.html.
