Albany, N.Y. — Herkimer’s Oak Hill Cemetery was among 17 properties,
resources and districts the recommended for inclusion on the State and
National Registers for Historic Places

Oak Hill Cemetery is considered to be a cemetery that “embodies the
features of rural cemetery design, including natural plantings, curved
drives and family plots,” according to the release.
The design reflects the 19th century trend of moving cemeteries to rural areas.

It also includes the burial site of Roxlanna Druse, who was convicted
of murdering her husband and was the last woman to be hanged in the
state.
