"Evergreen Cemetery is historically significant as an outstanding example of the settlement period of the village of Owego, in Tioga County, NY. It is a fine example of the Rural Movement, which was inspired by romantic perceptions of nature, art, national identity, and the melancholy theme of death. The monuments within the cemetery are an excellent example of the stylistic changes seen in the nineteenth and twentieth century building and funerary design. Additionally, the burial ground is significant for the historical record of Owego’s residents throughout a large part of the past two centuries, which includes the period of Owego’s most substantial growth."
