Wilson Hill Burial Ground is more than two centuries old, with the earliest extant burial marker being that of Capt. Samuel Kelley, who died in 1796. Kelley is one of four Revolutionary War soldiers who are buried in the cemetery, the others are: Capt. Nathaniel Wilson, Ellet Carr, and Henry Baxter.

The cemetery is in a field, in back of farm buildings, on what was known as "Wilson Hill." It is a beautiful site, sitting on a high point of land with wonderful views. There are a number of mature sugar maples that are growing in and adjacent to the cemetery. The cemetery is approximately 70' by 73' and enclosed by a stone wall. There are fifty-seven evident burials, with many stones broken or in otherwise poor condition. Funds have been donated for the restoration of the gravestones, and work is expected to be completed in 2019.

The cemetery is located on private property; notice to the homeowner is requested when visiting this site.
