Rose Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on the banks of the Ocmulgee River on Macon's north side. The cemetery was built by Simri Rose in 1840 and was designed as a place for people to gather and visit. The cemetery was a popular hangout for the Allman Brothers Band during their early years and the band drew some of their inspiration from the grounds. Guitarist Duane Allman and bass player Berry Oakley are both buried in the cemetery, as are many important Georgia politicians. The cemetery is a part of Macon's self-guided walking tour and it is also the site of the Rose Hill Ramble, which is hosted twice a year.
