Hillside Cemetery Preservation Foundation Details
Hillside Cemetery is an historical cemetery in Reno, Nevada. It was established in 1875, after first being Reno Cemetery in the 1860s. It sits on a hill overlooking downtown Reno. Today the cemetery is lovingly taken care of by a handful of volunteers, however over the years vast amounts of vandalism and damage has occurred, so there is ample work to be done. Hillside Cemetery Preservation Foundation has many goals. As a preservation foundation, HCPF's efforts are to clean, maintain and restore Hillside Cemetery. When the cemetery was established a perpetual care fund was never put into place. Additionally over the years, inattentive owners and large amounts of vandalism have led to the plight of the cemetery. HCPF is working to reverse the damage caused by the years of neglect. We hope that this can be accomplished through the efforts of our dedicated volunteers and charitable members.
