The Hill Cemetery and Parson Hubbard House Historic District encompasses a historic cemetery and parsonage in Shelburne, Massachusetts. The two properties are located on Old Village Road, on a hill above the Deerfield River known as Old Village Hill. The cemetery has seen continuous use since the 18th century, although the rate of burials decreased significantly beginning in the 1860s. The Parson Hubbard House is sited on top of the hill at 72 Old Village Road, with views to the east and west. The house was built in the 1770s for Shelburne's first minister, Robert Hubbard. Resistance activities related to Shays' Rebellion in the 1780s took place at the Hubbard house. These are the only major colonial-era historic properties in Shelburne; the meetinghouses from the period that were built in the area have not survived. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
