The Glenwood Cemetery is a 62 – acre property in downtown Picton. This historic cemetery with its trademark hills, winding roads and tall trees is typical of the Victorian era and is the final resting place for many of the area’s pioneer settlers and their families. In recent years, the cemetery has been restored including an elegant stone chapel with its six stained glass windows.

The Cook Memorial Fountain was donated to the Cemetery in 1968 in memory of
George John Cook and his wife Ellen Jane McMorran.
This beautiful tribute to George and Ellen Cook was refurbished and rededicated
through the generous support of Essroc and it's partners in the fall of 2007.

History lives here in stone and silence. The graves at Glenwood each detail the story of a past life and time. Colonial, tablet stones carved in limestone or marble mark the early graves.
