Nestled in the heart of Towson’s business district, historic Prospect Hill Cemetery is the highest elevation & largest green space in the town’s central core. The cemetery is the final resting place of people from all walks and stations of life – some of Baltimore County’s most prominent & interesting citizens. Within the park-like grounds are families with familiar names such as Hillen, Burke, Campbell, Jarrett & Bayne. Formally organized in 1892, the property is also an active non-profit cemetery business, managed by an all-volunteer board, that still has lots available to purchase for future generations.
Proceeds will go towards Preservation Alliance’s Grant Fund for repair/restoration to homes of limited income Senior Citizen historic homeowners & the upkeep of Prospect Hill Cemetery.
Space is limited to 25 participants.
