This one-half acre cemetery is a tiny remnant of the once vast tall grass prairie known as the Darby Plains. Many species of native prairie plants have survived here from presttlement time. Because of its scientific and historical significance, , the cemetery was dedicated as a state nature preserveby the Pike Township trustees in September 1978 and is now being managed to aid and perpetuate these prairie species.
