Beginning November 3rd, the cemetery will start its winter open and close schedule, closing at 5:30 PM nightly. The early closing time is due to darkness, necessary to maintain the safety of guests.
Frost Advisory: As we enter the coldest part of our winter season, please be aware of the potential for frost conditions at the cemetery in the morning hours. Hazardous frost conditions can make grass, headstones, and other hard surfaces icy and pose a slip and fall hazard to those visiting. Cemetery management recommends avoiding these surfaces when frost conditions exist.
District offices will be closed on Monday, January 20th, the cemetery will remain open for public access during this time.
