Learn about our Old-fashioned Memorial Day Observances

          Prospect Hill Cemetery has an Old-Fashioned Memorial Day Observance every Memorial Day.  The 2016 Observance featured the Preservation Brass Band; the First Nebraska Volunteers (Civil War era re-enactors) doing a 21-musket salute; and a tribute to Anna Wilson (early Omaha "Madam" and Prospect Hill benefactor).  Popular local historian Dave Wells talked about the Grand Army of the Republic and G.A.R. members who are interred at Prospect Hill.
          Brochures, books, and refreshments are always available.  We had a booth where volunteers helped you look up and locate your relatives in Prospect Hill.  All of this and more will be available for the 2017 Memorial Day Observance, so bring a lawn chair or blanket, leave your dogs at home, and we hope to see you there!
