Prospect Hill Cemetery


Eight of us had a wonderful tour/walk through Prospect Hill Cemetery, owned and passionately curated by Jack Sommer.  For those of you who couldn't make it, you can watch a short video about the Fallen Heroes Memorial here.

A Federal Cemetery lies within Prospect Hill, where many civil war veterans are buried.
