Cedar Hill's Superintendent's Cottage

Thousands of people drive through Cedar Hill's gateway each year. As they enter to visit their loved one's grave site or seek a moment of peace and solace or admire Cedar Hill's rich art and history, very few notice the Superintendent's Cottage that stands just to the right of the entryway. Built in 1875, the Superintendent's Cottage has been Bill and Sue Griswold's home for 30 years.

The Hartford Courant shines a light on Bill and Sue's life in the Superintendent's Cottage in the December 12th edition of the CTHOME Section. "Bill's protectiveness of the cemetery is evident when he talks of the long history of cemeteries in New England and the tradition that required supervisors to live on the cemetery grounds. But over the years, he says, that tradition has faded."

Cedar Hill is proud to have Bill as its Executive Superintendent and this article genuinely reflects Bill's commitment to and love of Cedar Hill.
