Rosemount Cemetery

Rosemount, adjacent to Rose Hill is the final resting place for many of Columbia’s prominent citizens and heroes, including members of the United States Colored Troops (USCT), men who fought valiantly during the Civil War, as well as Dr. J.C. Halfacre, a prominent physician. Halfacre also served as an alderman from Columbia’s Third Ward. Rosemount, Columbia’s first urban African American cemetery, is also the largest of Maury County’s African American cemeteries. Though separated by a fence and established decades apart, the significance of the cultural landscape-cemetery district-can only be understood when both sides of mirror cemeteries are assessed together. https://tproberhp.com/rose-hill-and-rosemont-cemeteries/
