Forest Hill is an intact example of the rural cemetery movement of the 19th century, in which cemeteries were located in a park-like setting that also served as a place for strolling, picnics, quiet recreation and contemplation. Many centuries before, early native Americans used this beautiful site for their burial and effigy mounds. In the early 1900s, three mounds were destroyed by cemetery expansion. The surviving mounds have co-existed near graves of Madisonians without further disturbance.| HM Number | HM1P18 |
