Forest Hill & Calvary Cemetery was incorporated in 1888. Prior to becoming a cemetery, in October of 1864 the Civil War Battle of Westport also known as “The Gettysburg of the West” was fought throughout this area. The rock wall that borders the southern property line is where Confederate General Joseph O. Shelby made his last stand against the Union forces.
