Just under 10 acres (4.0 ha) in size, it is the community's oldest and largest cemetery, with known burials dating back to 1851. It is the best-preserved element of the community's early settlement period and was laid out in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style. A 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) portion of the cemetery, including its two oldest sections,[2] was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
