PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY

Donate Funds

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

Next WeedWorkers Event: Saturday, September 16, 2023 8 a.m. to noon
It's almost fall, but the weeds at Prospect Hill Cemetery have not yet fallen. We will assemble this Saturday, September 16, from 8:00am until Noon to wage a brutal campaign against this intruding vegetation. If you're not quite up to a full-on assault, there are more genteel ways to help: gathering downed branches, picking up trash (especially the wind-blown kind that likes to accumulate around the fence lines), tending to some of the young trees that have been planted in the last few years, or cleaning up the gardens. It should be a beautiful day. Hope to see you at the cemetery!

Cleanup Saturdays got underway on April 15 with a hearty group of volunteers facing wind, rain and chilly temperatures. Thank you to the many volunteers who have helped with the upkeep of the cemetery in years past. Help us make 2023 the best year ever for Prospect Hill Cemetery & Arboretum. (see schedule below.)
