Cultural Landscapes Study: Cedar Hill Cemetery

Abstract

Through their work with the National Center for Smart Growth at the University of Maryland (UMD), the Prince George's County- Planning Department commissioned this report from the university’s Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS). PALS works with local jurisdictions throughout Maryland to identify projects and problems that can be taught through university courses where students focus on developing innovative, research-based solutions. This project was focused on investigating the history for the Cedar Hill Cemetery. This report centers on obtaining background information on the property and any previous efforts by the county to document the property for developing a Maryland Inventory of Historic Places nomination for Prince George's County.
