The Burial Grounds were established in 1842 on the south side of the old Carthage Road. Today, a bronze monument of a grieving family stands sentinel over this sacred cemetery, a peaceful and wooded resting place for early pioneers
To memorialize pioneers for whom no marker now exists, a kiosk at the cemetery includes many of their names.
