Rosehill Cemetery, Cemetery in Lincoln Square, Chicago, United States
Rosehill Cemetery spans 350 acres of land with stone monuments, mausoleums, and garden landscapes spread across the north side of Chicago.
The cemetery gates, designed by architect William Boyington in 1864, feature Joliet limestone and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1975.
The grounds contain burial sites of nineteen Chicago mayors, notable entrepreneurs Richard Sears and Montgomery Ward, along with 350 Union soldiers from the Civil War.
The cemetery administration building and main entrance are located at 5800 Ravenswood Avenue, with guided tours available during Memorial Day celebrations.
The name originated from a clerical error that transformed Roe's Hill, named after farmer Hiram Roe, into Rosehill on official documentation.
