Evergreen Cemetery is a cemetery in Menomonie, Wisconsin and the largest in Dunn County.[2] It was founded as a private cemetery by Knapp Stout and Company, Menomonie's huge lumber company.[3] There are over 1100 graves in the "single grave" section of the cemetery,[4] however many lack headstones because the earliest families could not afford to purchase them on a mill worker's salary.[5] The cemetery is located on Lake Menomin.
