To reach this cemetery, drive east out of town on Buffalo Street (Highway 22) about one-half mile to Cemetery Road. Turn north on Cemetery Road to the cemetery. The area is flat with just a few trees. There are bisecting gravel drives both directions in the cemetery, and entrances where each drive meets a road.
On the west side of the cemetery stands an open pavilion with bench seating. In front of the pavilion are two 8 ft. granite monuments placed by the Caddo Civic and Cemetery Club, the organization which maintains the cemetery and its records. One of these monuments is dedicated to those who gave their lives for our freedom. It reads:
