Nestled behind the University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium is Oconee Hill Cemetery, 100 acres of one of the most scenic places in North Georgia. The changing seasons of its historic landscape make the cemetery an intriguing place to visit. The land for Oconee Hill Cemetery was purchased in 1855 by the city of Athens when further burials were prohibited in the old cemetery on land owned by the University of Georgia. In 1856, the city formed a self-perpetuating governing board to hold and manage in trust this land that continues to serve as a public cemetery.

Oconee Hill Cemetery >>>>>>>>>>> Evergreen. Much more beautiful cemetery and it's the headquarters for UGA lettermen tailgates. One of my favorite things every year is eating BBQ in that cemetery.
