Add PhotosThe Chestnut Hill Union Burying Ground was opened in 1828 as Chestnut Hill's first pubic cemetery. After Ivy Hill Cemetery and other large burial grounds of the neighborhood were opened, few interments were made and by the early 20th century, the cemetery had become a derelict "no man's land." In 1917, Dr. George Woodward spent $6,000 to remove the burials to Arlington Cemetery in Delaware County.
Two men who were soldiers in the Civil War—Charles T. Butler and Alexander Parks—who were buried in the grounds were removed to Chelten Hills Cemetery.
