Geocache Description:


Rienzi Cemetery was established by Wisconsin Territorial Governor Nathaniel Potter Tallmadge at the time of the death of his son in 1845. The body of his son occupies the first grave in Rienzi Cemetery. Tallmadge originally set aside eight acres of his farm for the cemetery which has now expanded into a 100 acre beautifully hilly, tree shaded site in the Town of Empire. Tallmadge named the cemetery after famous Roman Patriarch named Cola di Rienzi.
