Indian Hill Cemetary
Originally known as "Mattabeseck" to the Wangunk Indians who inhabited the area, Indian Hill was sold to English settlers during the 1700s and was eventually converted into a cemetary in 1850. The cemetary became the burial ground for numerous politicians and upperclass citizens of Middletown during the 19th century, providing a resting spot for the likes of former state governors, Connecticut state representatives, U.S. representatives from Connecticut, former mayors and more.

More than just a historical site, the cemetary is a quiet, scenic spot, enjoyed by walkers, joggers, and those looking for a peaceful spot to picnic.
