Today it continues to serve the community and provides a unique link to our community’s African American history. The Green Hill Cemetery was established in 1865 following the end of the Civil War. One of the Cemetery's most prominent features is a simple but impressive ten-foot tall limestone pillar bearing the names of 142 veterans of Kentucky’s United States Colored Troops (USCT) from Frankfort and the surrounding counties of central Kentucky. It was one of only two such monuments dedicated to African-American troops in the country at the time of installation. Files on the cemetery and a list of the names on the monument are available from the office of the Assistant Curator of the Capital City Museum. Maintenance Donations may be made to PO Box 96, Frankfort, KY 40602.
