Orange Hill is Hawkinsville's principal historic burial ground, holding well over 3,700 recorded graves on a rise overlooking the town. Among those interred here is Tom Woolfolk (1860-1890), a figure tied to one of Georgia's most notorious 19th-century crimes, convicted of murdering nine members of his own family. His grave, along with the cemetery's many 1800s markers, makes the site a touchstone of Pulaski County history.
