Maple Hill Cemetery: Huntsville's Historic Resting Place

Getting There

• Walking

  From downtown Huntsville, such as the Madison County Courthouse, Maple Hill Cemetery is approximately a 15-20 minute walk. Head east on Eastside Square toward Washington Street, then turn right onto Washington Street. Continue onto Wells Avenue, and you'll see the cemetery entrance on your left, marked by a stone wall at the intersection of Wells Avenue and England Street. This entrance is near the Confederate section. Parking is available for free along the stone wall on Wells Avenue.

• Public Transport

  Huntsville's Orbit bus system has several routes that serve the downtown area. From a downtown bus stop, such as the Huntsville Transit Center, take a bus that travels along either California Street or near the intersection of California Street and McClung Avenue. From there, it's a short walk to the cemetery entrance at 203 Maple Hill Drive (at California St. and McClung Ave). A single ride on the Orbit bus costs $1.

• Taxi/Ride-Share

  From anywhere in downtown Huntsville, a taxi or ride-share service (Uber/Lyft) to Maple Hill Cemetery will typically cost between $8 and $12, depending on traffic and surge pricing. Specify '202 Maple Hill St SE' or 'intersection of Wells Avenue and England Street' as your destination, depending on which entrance you prefer. Keep in mind that using the Wells Avenue entrance will place you closer to the Confederate section.

• Driving

  From downtown Huntsville, drive east on Governors Drive. Turn left onto Maple Hill Street SE. The main entrance to the cemetery will be on your right at 202 Maple Hill St SE. Limited parking is available inside the cemetery. Alternatively, for the Wells Avenue entrance (closer to the Confederate section), from downtown, take Washington Street to Wells Avenue. Free parking is available along the stone wall on the south side of Wells Avenue, near the intersection with England Street.
