Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Hugo is a beautiful area, with rolling land and many large trees. There are currently 7100 burials here. Along the north drive toward the east side of the cemetery, this rock chapel shows the beauty of WPA workmanship.
The chapel is small, approximately 12 x 14 ft. It has a steep gabled roof and a small steeple. The walls are constructed of native sand stone. The roof is currently covered with metal siding.
