Fort Hill Cemetery was incorporated on May 15, 1851 under its official name: "Trustees of the Fort Hill Cemetery Association of Auburn." This handbook visits the history of Fort Hill of Auburn, NY, as well as the surrounding areas. Fort Hill is considered one of the best-preserved fortified villages of the Cayuga Indians who used the area as a fortified hill in the middle of the 16th century. Hall's History of Auburn (1860) describes Fort Hill as "a bold eminence located in the western part of Auburn, which, by the beauty of its groves and its prominence as a point of observation, should, in the opinion of many citizens, be converted into a park." Covers worn, browning from a newspaper clipping (?) on title-page, else internally clean.
