Opposite the venerable, massive wooden building of the Luenenburg Academy is Hillcrest Cemetery - the oldest Protestant cemetery in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and one of the oldest in Canada. The oldest tombstone is dated to 1761, eight years after Lunenburg was founded.

Both are a bit outside of the city center, but the detour is worthwhile, if only because of the far-reaching view.

Adjacent to the impressive Lunenburg Academy lies the Hillcrest Cemetery. The Hillcrest Cemetery is the oldest protestant cemetery in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and one of the oldest in Canada. The oldest marker is dated 1761, eight years after Lunenburg was established.

Both are a little outside the city center, but the diversions is worth it, if only for the panoramic view.
