"The cemetery is important to the history of landscape design as
one of the few, and the oldest, examples of a "rural" or "park" design cemetery
in Nebraska. It was established in 1869 by the Nebraska legislature as a state
cemetery for the infant city of Lincoln." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society
