This Maple Hill Cemetery event has grown to be one of the largest living history strolls in the nation, with over 75 costumed characters, traditional music, special exhibits, an expanded antique auto display, and student scavenger hunts.

There will be at least a dozen new characters featured this year. Not all are buried in Maple Hill, but they are essential in accurately reflecting the history of Huntsville. Some of the music will accompany character portrayals. Exhibits will highlight fascinating cemetery history and recent restoration projects. Look for the antique autos in a chronological procession in the southern end of the cemetery.

Updates will be made to the Facebook Event HERE.

The Stroll is a free event for all ages, but we welcome donations. The Huntsville Pilgrimage Association sponsors this event; all donations are used to preserve and restore the historic sections of Maple Hill Cemetery. The toll of nearly two centuries of vandalism, human error, damaging weather and the natural aging process, presents a constant and never ending endeavor. With your support, the Huntsville Pilgrimage Association has provided nearly $400,000 for the restoration of over 1650 monuments and decorative metal fences. The designation of Maple Hill Cemetery in the National Register of Historic Places reflects your commitment in protecting this jewel in Huntsville’s cultural treasure chest.
