Kensico Cemetery and the vaudevillians' section
Valhalla, New York

Kensico was founded in 1889 when Manhattan's graveyards were filling up and the railroads made rural burial practical. Sergei Rachmaninoff is buried here, along with a great many other performers of the early twentieth century. The cemetery set aside a section for members of the Actors' Fund of America and the National Vaudeville Association, a good number of whom had died broke, which is the part of show business that does not usually get a monument.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
