Oak Ridge Cemetery

 

Oak Ridge Cemetery is located in the community of Farmington.  It has two entrances, one on Wall Street and the other entrance on Fairview Street, pictured below. Oak Ridge Cemetery was established in 1835 and deeded to the city on April 17, 1868.  The Fairview entrance was presented by C. C. Butler in 1917.  Many heartfelt thanks to the person who takes care of this beautiful cemetery!
