About this Location

Welcome to Wildwood Cemetery.  Wildwood is a non-profit, non-denominational, active cemetery in the college town of Amherst.  The cemetery was established in 1887 and the landscape design was inspired by the work of the famous NY Central Park designer Fredrick Law Olmsted.  Services at the cemetery are held graveside, weather permitting. The cemetery is frequented by bird watchers and naturalists of all ages interested in our flora and fauna. Wildwood Cemetery has succeeded in preserving the nineteenth-century feel and it remains a quiet hilltop allowing for a moment of peace amidst the bustle of Amherst.

The entrance to Wildwood Cemetery is on Strong Street.
