Rosemount has served Columbia's Black community since 1873, Rose Hill is its neighbor and was originally established as a segregated whites-only cemetery. Together these two cemeteries tell the full story of Columbia's past--from Emancipation through Jim Crow to today--and showcase two distinct styles of cemeteries from the second half of the 19th century.
