Rose Hill Cemetery is Rockmart's municipal burying ground, established on land donated by Seaborn Jones, the town's founder, after Rockmart was chartered in 1872. Jones reserved a plot for himself on the highest point, where his monument stands as the tallest in the cemetery. The grounds hold several thousand graves reflecting the town's Welsh mining and slate-quarrying heritage, and the Polk County Historical Society conducts tours highlighting the area's notable early residents.
