Oak Grove Cemetery and Arboretum is located at 334 South Sandusky Street in Delaware. Oak Grove was established in 1851 and is the largest cemetery in Delaware County, encompassing about 70 acres and approximately 21,000 interments.

The City of Delaware was requested to take over oversight of Oak Grove in 2012 and even though the city has grown around the cemetery, Oak Grove has remained a beautiful peaceful sanctuary. The natural beauty of the rolling hills, abundant trees, flowers and wildlife has been preserved and Oak Grove remains a place of peace and remembrance.

The cemetery is accessible from either the 334 S. Sandusky Street entrance or the 141 Liberty Road entrance.
