Forest Hill Cemetery

Forest Hill was founded in 1848, dating the cemetery at almost 200 years of age, by a group of civic-minded citizens to provide a hugely wanted need for the growing city of the day. Forest Hill Cemetery, with its well-maintained, Victorian-style landscape has many national, state, and local leaders laid to rest there. Such as a Vice-President of the United States, veterans of many armed conflicts (including Medal of Honor Recipients), political and industrial leaders, and many philanthropic giants are at Forest Hill Cemetery; all representing the historical richness and greatness of Utica.
