Our Heritage
1854 — and tended ever since
For more than a century and a half, this ground has been the resting place of our community — its founders and its veterans, its teachers and its tradespeople, its families across the generations.
Our founder set this land aside as a burying place for the community forever. It has been cared for, season by season, by the families who rest here and the trustees who serve without pay.

A Non-Profit Resting Place
Cared for by the community, for the community
This cemetery is a non-profit cemetery association. It receives no tax funding — the grounds are kept through the generosity of the families connected to it.
Every gift goes directly to year-round groundskeeping, the repair of fences and old markers, and the care fund that protects this place for the generations still to come.
