Mount Hope Cemetery - Oconomowoc
Situated atop a grassy knoll dotted with majestic and beautiful mature oak trees, the historic burial site presents a serenely comforting environment with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. Located in the Town of Spring Prairie on the eastern edge of Walworth County, Mount Hope Cemetery has a long and interesting history in the area. Its oldest recorded burial, that of 21-month old Mary Pool, dates back to 1846; however, there is some evidence that unrecorded burials may go back to as early as 1835. The last recorded burial, prior to 2017, was in 1888. Over the years the cemetery has also been referred to as both Billings and Bell Cemetery; however the current name of Mount Hope has been the most enduring. It was originally part of a 160-acre parcel purchased by Charles Dyer from the Federal Government in 1839. In 1851, the 250’ by 250’ plot, along with a 33-foot-wide access to the road, was sold to the Trustees of the Mount Hope Cemetery for $25.
