The Forest Hills Educational Trust

About The Trust

THE FOREST HILLS EDUCATIONAL TRUST was founded to preserve, interpret, enhance, and celebrate historic Forest Hills Cemetery, a place of burial and remembrance which is also one of Boston’s most magnificent green spaces and resonant historic sites.

The Trust has developed diverse programs which promote and enrich public use of this community resource, including —

  • Walking tours exploring history, art and horticulture
  • Concerts, performance art events, and poetry readings
  • Collecting and maintaining archival materials relating to the Cemetery and its historic figures and publishing interpretive brochures and guides.

The Trust’s work is made possible through support from Forest Hills Cemetery, generous contributions from individuals, grants from foundations and government agencies, and donations from local businesses. Thank you to all the people and organizations who make this work possible through their support.
