Welcome to Jacksonport Lakeview Cemetery in Door County.

Jacksonport Lakeview Cemetery is also known as the Jacksonport Town Cemetery.

The Township of Jacksonport was officially organized on March 9th, 1869. Historical accounts state that a tribe of Potawatomi Indians lived in their village, “Mechingan”, in the area of Hibbard’s Creek many years previous. Around 1850, the first white man, Neil Blair, settled here.
