The city's oldest and largest graveyard. Site of the somewhat strange but locally applauded "Cemetery Stroll", wherein character actors recount tales from the lives of Huntsville's early citizens while dressed in period clothing. A favorite place for residents of the 5 Points area to jog in the morning or take a leisurely stroll in the evening. Also a favorite place for amateur photography, particularly within the city's small Gothic community. It really should be considered a 'Memorial Park', IMHO.
The cemetery is managed by Maple Hill Cemetery, Inc.
