Oakland Cemetery

For 175 years, Russellville Oakland Cemetery has been committed to service of the community and the final resting place for many of the area's residents.

Oakland hosts several events throughout the year, including Decoration Day, Symbolism and Interpretation Tour, and Fall Tours of some of the more notable persons. Private tours are by appointment only.

These are free events, however donations are accepted to assist in the preservation and beautification projects of Oakland.
