This is a large town cemetery. The old part is to the north and the new part is to the south. A valley separates the two sections. The old part is often called the Masten Cemetery after the predominant family buried there. The cemetery is nicely mowed and mostly maintained.
In November of 2006, students from Cascade Middle School spent an afternoon completely cleaning over 40 stones in the cemetery. Before and after photographs have been entered into Find-A-Grave .
