Oakland Cemetery

For over 180 years, Russellville Oakland Cemetery has been committed to service of the community and the final resting place for many of the area's residents.

Oakland hosts several events throughout the year, including Cleanup/Decoration Day, Notables of Russellville Tours, Symbolism Interpretation Tours (Spring & Fall), Stone Cleaning Workshops (eligible for community service hours), and Private Tours.

These are free events, however donations are accepted to assist in the preservation and beautification projects of Oakland.
