“I found this to be a very peaceful and interesting historic graveyard. It is quite small, but there are a few plaques around to provide information. The setting is pleasant, and there are some good light hiking trails around that allow you to explore the setting of the civil war battle that took place here.”

“Old, smaller cemetery, very well kept up. Markers dating back generations. A nice old cemetery at the intersection of two busy roads. Very little parking, newly paved.”

“This is the cemetery for the old Joliet Penitentiary and is no longer in use. It replaced the previous cemetery that opened in the 1800's that's located about .75 miles NorthEast. Monkey Hill is well maintained, although access is across a ditch that's often flooded. It's directly across the street from St. Mary's cemetery. It opened in 1936 and was used to inter the unclaimed bodies of inmates. The headstones were manufactured at the old Joliet Penitentiary. Vaults were not used - inmates were buried in pine boxes, and during new burials previously interred would be accidentally exposed. If you're interested in local history or the old Joliet Penitentiary, it's worth a visit.”
