Small, well-kept Alton cemetery containing the surprisingly modest, extra-long grave of Robert Wadlow — the world’s tallest man. Photographers will find intimate grave details, old headstones with photos, and leafy lanes. Best at soft light (early morning or late afternoon) to avoid harsh shadows and crowds. Site is free, publicly accessible; street parking nearby. Be respectful of mourners and preserve distance when shooting.
