The Oak Hill Cemetery
Hillside Georgetown burial ground of gothic chapel and terraced paths above Rock Creek, resting place of statesmen and a modern tragedy alike.
This guide to Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown opens at a funeral inside Saint Sophia Cathedral in 2015, where hundreds of mourners came for a Washington family whose deaths gripped the city. It traces back to a welder named Daron Wint, recently fired from an ironworks company, and the evening that turned into a home invasion at his former boss's house. You'll hear about the investigation that followed, built on months of witness testimony and a forensic detail found at the scene. The cemetery itself was laid out in 1848 on a hillside above Rock Creek by banker William Corcoran.
