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

Final WeedWorkers Event: Saturday, December 2, 2023 10 a.m. to noon
Yes, it's late and perhaps a touch cold, but there's still work to do before we put the cemetery to bed for the season. We will gather Saturday, December 2, from 10:00am until Noon with tools in hand. The eastern half is in good shape, so we will concentrate on clearing weeds and brush from the western side. We want to pay particular attention to veterans graves, in anticipation of the Wreaths Across America event on Dec. 16, 2023. We don't want wreaths competing with weeds.
We'll have hot chocolate to warm your soul and cookies from the Cookie Lady! Please join us.

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.)
