Myrtle Hill Cemetery Tree Tour, Self-Guided

Myrtle Hill Cemetery Tree Tour

Discover over 35 different species of trees in this self-guided tree tour of Rome’s Historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery. Many trees are rare and not native to the Northwest Georgia Area. In 2018, the Georgia Urban Forest Council recognized the trees at Myrtle Hill and placed them on their Landmark and Historic Tree Register.

Download the map below and start anywhere on the map. Locate a tree from the map either by it’s name or it’s number. Stainless steel tags hang from trees that are marked on Myrtle Hill.  Continue to the next tree on your path until you’ve located all the tree species on the map.  Some tree species may be located in several areas of the cemetery. Other species, especially non-native trees, may only have one tree.
