2019:
Established in 1880 and located on its original forty rolling acres on the north side of the City of Lake Geneva, Oak Hill Cemetery is a cohesive historic landscape representative of the Rural Cemetery Movement that became fashionable in the United States between the early 1830s and about 1900. The property is defined by its network of gently curving pathways, its rolling topography, its wooded landscape, and its wide variety of grave markers and monuments that range in size and complexity from modest stone slabs to grand obelisks and mausoleums.
