Rose Hill Cemetery, Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, United States

Rose Hill Cemetery is a 50-acre cemetery on the banks of the Ocmulgee River in Macon, Georgia, opened in 1840. Designed by horticulturist Simri Rose as a garden cemetery, it has wide dirt paths (later paved) and two bridges across ravines. Sections include Oak Ridge (1851) for enslaved people, Soldier's Square with about 600 Confederate troops, one Catholic and seven Jewish sections.

The cemetery was established in 1840 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It contains graves of Civil War soldiers from both Union and Confederate forces, as well as pioneers from Macon's early history, including burials of formerly enslaved and free African Americans dating to the 1800s.

The cemetery was designed as a garden, not merely as a burial ground. Different sections reflect the various communities who rest here, including areas for Masons, the Jewish community, and African Americans who lived through difficult periods in history.

The grounds are open to visitors free of charge and feature an information kiosk at the entrance with a colorful map for orientation. The paths are walkable year-round and invite leisurely strolls or sitting in quiet spots near the river.

Elizabeth Reed Napier (1845–1935), buried here, inspired the Allman Brothers song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"; the band reportedly saw her name on a headstone. Peter J. Bracken, engineer of the stolen Texas locomotive in the Great Locomotive Chase, also lies in the cemetery.
