This well-maintained, 32-acre cemetery at the northwest of town is worth a wander to explore historical pioneer grave sites chronicling wars, epidemics and other untimely deaths. For two days in October, the 'Meet the Pioneers' program has volunteers in period costumes leading guided tours. The Chamber of Commerce has helpful literature with maps.
