Fort Hill Cemetery is a cemetery located in Auburn, New York, United States. It was incorporated on May 15, 1851, under its official name: "Trustees of the Fort Hill Cemetery Association of Auburn". It is known for its headstones of notable people such as former Secretary of State William H. Seward, his son, William H. Seward Jr. and abolitionist and freedom fighter Harriet Tubman. It is built on what was once a fortified village of the Cayuga Nation.[1] The cemetery features a 56 ft (17 m). high limestone obelisk monument to Chief Logan, famed chief of the Haudenosaunee.[2]
