Memory Hill Cemetery

Originally called Cemetery Square, Memory Hill was designated as one of the four public squares of 20 acres each in the Milledgeville town plan of 1803. Many people associated with Milledgeville and Georgia, such as Congressman Carl Vinson, writer Flannery O'Connor, governors, legislators, slaves and soldiers are buried here. A self-guided tour map of Memory Hill is available at the cemetery, and guided tours may be arranged for groups of 15 or more. This cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Historic District of Milledgeville.
