Riverside Cemetery is a historically significant area, established as a private entity in 1887 and operated since the late 1940's as a not-for-profit cemetery managed for the benefit of its property owners. Located just off Riverside Drive above the Ocmulgee River in Macon, Georgia, the 125-acre area is the final resting place of nearly 17,000 people including Civil War veterans, esteemed civic and business leaders, renowned educators, religious leaders of several faiths, military and prominent Macon families.
