To reach this cemetery starting at 5th St/Hwy 85, turn west onto on National Street, turning right or north onto Sourdough Road. The cemetery can be seen from the highway.

The Pioneer Cemetery is pretty old, and is in fair to poor condition. Some headstones have collapsed, and there are some missing as well. There are a few newer deaths, but not many. There also a few unknown soldiers from the Civil War. It is accessible by the public at all hours.

This is a complete reading of all existing and legible stones and markers, done on Mar 11, 2007.
