The Flower Hill Cemetery, also known as the Burtis Cemetery and Old Cemetery at Flower Hill, is a historic cemetery and historic site located within the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill, in the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.
This cemetery, which dates back to the American Revolution-era, was active between 1798 and 1896.[3] [4] [5] It is one of the oldest extant places within Flower Hill.[6] Many prominent locals from this time period are buried at this cemetery, including members of the Burtis family, which owned a farm located partially over what is now the North Hempstead Country Club.[7] It is owned by the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill.[8]
In 2010, a local resident, James Morgan McLaughlin, arranged a cleanup effort of the cemetery, as part of his Eagle Scout project.
The cemetery was designated a Village of Flower Hill Historic Landmark on April 3, 2023.[9]
