Welcome

"If you stroll the cemetery roads and paths and scrutinize the names on the stones, you will find material and to spare for the ancestral roll call of the island." These were words written by Florence Bennett Anderson in Through the Hawse-Hole the True Story of a Nantucket Whaling Captain, the biography of her great great grandfather
Captain Seth Pinkham.

Prospect Hill Cemetery is located in the center of Nantucket Island. We welcome you as you visit our island and while you are here take a stroll through Prospect Hill Cemetery. You will find it a place of peace and tranquility. There are places to sit and reflect on its past. You may also see names from your history books on the headstones at Prospect Hill. Nantucket is a special and unique experience. We invite you to explore Nantucket's past at historic
