Oak Hill Cemetery is a small cemetery located on Brookfield Road in Brookfield, Wisconsin founded in 1851 as a part of pioneer Joseph Ewbank's land grant. Since 1905, it has been operated by the Oak Hill Cemetery Association. The cemetery is home to many graves of American, British, and German settlers along with a number of American Military veterans of various wars. A Memorial Day ceremony is held each year at Oak Hill. This is a very well-kept cemetery on lovely, wooded land.
