About Hillside Cemetery
Hillside Cemetery is a major burial ground in the Burnt Hills area and remains an important cemetery for local families with deep roots in the community. It is associated with the former Burnt Hills Baptist Church cemetery grounds and continues to serve as a well-known historic burial location in southern Saratoga County.
This cemetery is especially important because it reflects generations of local family history, older memorials, and long-standing community burial traditions. For many families, Hillside Cemetery is not only a resting place but also a visible connection to the early history of Burnt Hills and the surrounding Town of Ballston.
Because older cemeteries experience long-term weather exposure, moisture, biological growth, and seasonal change, memorials can gradually lose readability or develop staining. That is why preservation-safe cleaning and respectful cemetery care are often important for families visiting Hillside Cemetery.
