The Greenwood Valley Cemetery is a closed cemetery. It was used from the 1830's - 1980's
The cemetery has been well maintained by the Town and Country 4-H club for more than 50 years. Each summer the 4-H members and their families mow the lawn, plant flowers, and care for the bushes. They have also righted numerous headstones and have recently cleared out the rusty fence surrounding the property and added a new bench around one of the old trees.
If you arrive to find them working, please stop to thank them for the work they are doing to care for this historic cemetery. Among the headstones, you will find local farmers, Civil War Veterans, even one who set out to find his fortune in Alaska (NW Corner).
BYOP -- The cache container is not in contact with any gravestones, monuments, or other memorials. Please respect the area. Also, take care to replace the cache so that is it not readily visible to the casual passerby.
The "SQ" in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana ( GCHRFJ ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.
Wisconsin cache owners are joining in as of 2007, with the designation WSQ prefixing their cache names. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.
Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to sunset
