Rose Hill

Rose Hill Cemetery is located at 1604 C Street SE and was established in 1893 as Ardmore's largest and oldest cemetery covering approximately 120 acres. Before statehood, the town had two other cemeteries that were moved to Rose Hill. A number of gravestones date back to the late 1880's and early 1890's. In fact, this cemetery is the burial place for many soldiers from the Confederate home.                                                                      

 Located in the Cemetery are:  
           *   Veterans Section  (Dedicated to veterans from the Spanish/American War to present day)
