Fort Hill Cemetery, also recorded as Eastside Cemetery, is regarded as the second-oldest burial ground in Macon. The land was donated by Thomas Woolfolk in the early 1820s, after he purchased the roughly 100-acre tract from the federal government when nearby Fort Hawkins was closed. Its grounds hold more than three thousand documented graves, among them at least one figure of local note.
