Today, visitors enjoy its winding paths, gothic setting and elaborately designed gravestones. Make sure to check out the Oak Ridge section, which is the resting place for an unknown amount of enslaved people, and the graves of legendary musicians, Duane and Greg Allmann. Other than the yearly Rose Hill Ramble held by Historic Macon, the cemetery is self-guided.
