Oak Hill Cemetery - Excelsior, Minnesota city of Excelsior, Hennepin County, Minnesota: T117N - R23W, parts of sections 27, 34, & 35 This cemetery is in fair shape. Much of the cemetery is situated around a large steep hill. At the top of this hill is a circular area with burials only in half of the area. Based upon the dates of death this section was opened much later than the main cemetery that surrounds the hill below this point. I suspect that the large Civil War statue which is situated in the newest area of this cemetery once stood upon the hill.
