Background: Quilcene Cemetery was originally a part of the Richardson family farm, with its first known burial, a 6 year old Ira Richardson, occurring in 1884. Between then and 1902, twenty-five individuals were buried here, both members of the Richardson family and also members of the community. In 1902, the Richardson family donated 4 acres of land to create the Cemetery, and in 1911 the Jefferson County Commissioners approved the new cemetery at its present location. Until 1978, the management of the Cemetery was handled by the Foresters and the local Masonic Lodge. Jefferson County Cemetery District #2 (Quilcene Cemetery) was formed by action of the voters on September 19, 1978.
