History

Rock Creek Cemetery dates back to 1719 when 100 acres of land was donated by Colonel John Bradford. In 1840, Congress passed an Act designating the ground as a public cemetery. In the early 20th Century, the church sold 14 acres to accommodate construction of New Hampshire Avenue, leaving today's total of 86 acres.

Rock Creek Cemetery is the oldest operating cemetery in Washington DC.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
