Woodward Hill Cemetery is a 32-acre historic rural or garden cemetery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The cemetery's creation was initiated by the Trinity Lutheran Church of Lancaster in October 1849. Land was subsequently purchased by the church, a board of trustees was elected on November 4, 1850, and the burial ground was incorporated by an act of the Pennsylvania State Senate in 1851. It then officially became a non-denominational cemetery on February 2, 1852 when the property was transferred from the church to a group of stockholders.Best known for being the burial place of James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, Woodward Hill Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
