Hiking Trail
A peaceful, natural environment, Williamsburg Cemetery has become well-known for its quiet setting and unique burial options. What you may not know is that the cemetery is also the site of a hiking trail where the untamed beauty of nature awaits.

While Williamsburg Cemetery covers approximately 50 acres, currently only about a half of that is being utilized as cemetery land. To put the additional land to good use and give residents access to the area’s natural, forested lands, staff created Trillium Woods. This bark-chip hiking trail which winds its way through the woods and over a quaint, wooden footbridge which adds to the picturesque setting.

In the spring you’ll be greeted by a blanket of different colored trilliums, and in the fall, you’ll be likely to catch a glimpse of the Piliated Woodpecker that often visits. Along the trail, you’ll also see historic farm artifacts – which each include a brief description – that were donated by Arthur Hewitt.

The trail is about a 20-minute hike in its entirety and does a full loop, which is nice for anyone who is directionally challenged!
