Welcome to the Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery and Arboretum
Omaha's Pioneer Cemetery, founded in 1858, is one of Nebraska's oldest cemeteries, a Nebraska State Historical Site, and a Nebraska Statewide Arboretum Site
Memorial Day Cancelled for 2020
We are disappointed to announce that the 2020 Prospect Hill Cemetery Memorial Day Observance has been canceled. This is our most important event of the year, so we were hoping the community might have fully reopened by then. However, because virtually all significant community gatherings have been canceled and because we can expect social distancing practices to continue well into the summer, we feel it is our civic duty to take the same steps toward public health and safety as others have. Read the full statement here. |

Adopt-A-PlotOur Adopt-A-Plot program is a perfect service opportunity to help the cemetery keep up on maintenance and keep the cemetery looking great. We are looking for volunteers or groups to adopt certain sections of the cemetery to visit every two to three weeks and maintain from May through August. Specific information can be found under "Contact" on the Adopt-A-Plot page. On that is a map that highlights the different sections of the cemetery that are up for adoption. If you have read through everything and would love to help contact either Dave Harding at davidharding2020@gmail.com or Shannon Lewis at shannon@historywalksnebraska.com, or the Prospect Hill Contact email at: info@prospecthill-omaha.org
