The cemetery includes approximately 5,000 marked burials in the cemetery, spanning from 1849 until the present day. It features entranceways flanked by Medina sandstone columns and wrought-iron gates built in 1925. Located in the cemetery is a Gothic Revival style chapel built in 1903 of rough-cut red Medina sandstone.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
