Dogwoods:  Maple Hill Cemetery

Maple Hill Cemetery is the oldest and largest cemetery in the state.

It also has many famous people important in the history of the city and the state buried there.  The annual "Cemetery Stroll" reenacts some of the characters each year in the spring.



Maple Hill is filled with hundreds of dogwoods; most are white but pink dogwoods are scattered throughout.
