Old fashioned iron lamp posts line Bryn Mawr’s charming historic district while young families push strollers, walk dogs, and have brunch. Bryn Mawr/Bowmanville also boasts Rosehill Cemetery, a 350-acre Chicago landmark that is the final resting place for luminaries like Montgomery Ward, Richard Sears, Oscar Mayer, several Chicago mayors, and one Vice President (Charles Gates Dawes).
