Beautiful pioneer cemetery with a wonderful monument to the three witnesses of the Book of Mormon golden plates. LDS service missionaries do a beautiful job taking care of the lawn and flowers around the monument. Some of the Whitmer family are buried here, and I think Oliver Cowdery is actually buried here near the monument. I'm thankful these men are honored here. I am also grateful for their testimony.

Beautiful, peaceful place in charming Richmond. The Church maintains it nicely. It's sad that erosion has made a lot of the markers illegible, but neat how they've still been preserved as best they could. At the time, we were the only visitors there on a quiet Memorial Day evening.
