Prospect Hill Cemetery

Prospect Hill Cemetery Prospect Hill Cemetery was chartered in 1854. Located on the highest point of Western Turnpike, Prospect Hill Cemetery overlooks Guilderland.

There used to be a beautiful Victorian Gateway over the entrance that is no longer there. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the cemetery was a gathering place for both the living and the dead. People went to have picnics and honor the dead. The cemetery also contained a Victorian caretaker's cottage in which Grand Army of the Republic Civil War veterans gathered before dedication ceremonies in their honor each year on Memorial Day. The cottage was torn down in 1998. Located on the highest point of Western Turnpike, Prospect Hill Cemetery overlooks Guilderland and is a fitting place for the burial of heroes and heroines of the town's past. Adorning some graves are GAR iron markers, denoting the Grand Army of the Republic, the Army of the Civil War. In addition to serving in the military, residents buried in the cemetery contributed to Guilderland history in many other important ways. Among those listed with familiar family names are: John Veeder, John H. Voorhees, John McChesney, whose family owned the Appel Inn, and Charles and William Crounse, along with many others.
