Geocache Description:

This small cache is located along the perimeter of Saint George cemetery. Be respectful. There are two entrances to the cemetery off 4th Street. The road is a loop that takes you up and through the cemetery. There is room for coins and small travel bugs.

If you walk through the cemetery, notice the old iron crosses, somewhat unique for a German community that prided itself on stone and brick. The first Roman Catholic cemeteries in the area used wooden and wrought iron crosses. Local blacksmiths made the iron crosses, a generations-old tradition brought here by the Germans. Gravestones dating from the 1800’s to present can be seen here.
