Consecrated in 1842, Oak Hill Cemetery is one of the first rural garden cemeteries in the United States.

Still an active burial ground, Oak Hill is a place for reflection and quiet walks through beautiful landscape, to enjoy bird watching and photography, and to reminisce about the rich history of Newburyport.

Oak Hill Cemetery, managed by a Board of Trustees, is an active private burial ground and is open for visitations from dawn to dusk. Please be respectful of funeral services, gravesite visitors, and cemetery rules including dogs must be on leashes at all times.

Oak Hill Cemetery, a nonprofit 501 c 13, is listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
