The Oak Hill Cemetery

I stopped by here for a peaceful walk. It’s truly a beautiful cemetery, particularly this time of year with the trees in bloom. There’s so many beautiful and interesting monuments from throughout history and I even saw what I think was a red Squirrel.

Well maintained historical cemetery with great walking paths and beautiful flowers, shrubbery, and trees. Historical monuments, markers, and mosuleums.

A beautiful cemetery with graves and mausolea going back a couple centuries. Fairly walkable, but some paths are sloping and have loose gravel, so might be a challenge for those with mobility issues. If you’re lucky like we were, you might see some of the deer that live in the cemetery!

Oak Hill has hundreds of years of history and beauty located in historic Georgetown, next to Rock Creek. There aren't many more beautiful, well maintained places I've seen to rest loved ones in peace. It's a true sanctuary.

Oak Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on a hill along Rock Creek Park in Georgetown in NW DC. The cemetery itself is stunning. On roving green hills, the scenery with the gravestones is stunning. Many of the gravestones are monuments and striking. There are a few larger burial areas on the premise as well as benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. There's a little garden as well as benches under a stone bridge. There's also a beautiful chapel designed by renowned James Renwick. There are more strict rules at the cemetery. You can't take professional photos nor bring in pets, bikes, etc. There are many famous DC icons buried here including Katharine Graham, the former publisher of The Washington Post.
