About

Started in 1879, this history-filled cemetery has 4 knolls separating graves into sections for Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, and non-denominational and violent death burials.

There is a pond and small creek running through the cemetery with a wood plank bridge and paths.

In the spring, wildflowers bloom throughout, adding to the beautiful views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Many of the paths are shaded by large pine trees and covered in pine needles.

You are surrounded with the sounds of nature as you walk.

Know Before You Go

The road to the cemetery is a little rocky and low-clearance vehicles probably won't do well.
