About Rose Hill Cemetery

Rose Hill Cemetery is located within Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve and commemorates the lives of former residents of the local mining communities. The cemetery contains the graves of children who died in epidemics, women who died in childbirth, and men who died in mining disasters. Although over 10 nationalities resided in the mining area, Rose Hill Cemetery was a Protestant burial ground, and many of the people buried here were Welsh. Over the years, vandalism has taken its toll on the cemetery, which the East Bay Regional Parks District is actively attempting to restore. The park offers a printed brochure about the cemetery and maintains a list of individuals buried there.
