Westgarthtown Lutheran Cemetery

Westgarthtown Lutheran Cemetery is a peaceful and remarkable place.

Planted with Monterey pines along the northern, western and eastern boundaries, it is surrounded by a drystone wall. The first interment, that of an unnamed still-born child, had taken place by October 1850. Although no burial register for the cemetery survives, about 250 burials are known to have taken place. Today the cemetery remains open for the burial of descendants of those original settlers and members of the Lutheran congregation.
