Maple Hill Cemetery

The burial site of numerous Confederate soldiers, the Maple Hill Cemetery holds historical significance for residents of Huntsville. One of the oldest and largest in the city, the cemetery is also the burial site of many of America’s notable personalities, such as governors of state, senators, representatives, and military figures. This rich history of the cemetery paved the way for the Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll, an annual tradition wherein residents come dressed in period costumes and celebrate the lives of the departed. Replete with traditional music, performances, special exhibits, and even scavenger hunts, the event draws crowds from far away.
