Mill Hill Historic Park in Norwalk, Connecticut, is a living history museum composed of three buildings: the circa 1740 Governor Thomas Fitch IV "law office", the c. 1826 Downtown District Schoolhouse, and the 1835 Norwalk Town Hall; as well as a historic cemetery also called the Town House Hill Cemetery. The museum is also known as the Mill Hill Historical Complex in some references and the sign at the parking lot reads Norwalk Mill Hill Museum.

The Mill Hill Park is now maintained by the Norwalk Historical Society and the Norwalk-Village Green Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Mill Hill Park can be found located along East Wall Street, bounded by Hubble Lane on its southeast and Smith Street to its southwest in Central Norwalk. “The burial ground on Mill Hill called Whitney's Hill in the records, after the miller[?], was opened for the use of members of the First Society (Congregational) in 1767.”^[1] The burying ground, which is now the third oldest in Norwalk, was established by the First Congregational church in 1767. There are 11 veterans of the American Revolutionary War buried in the Mill Hill Burying Ground.^[2]
