This large cemetery sits behind the Willow Street Mennonite Church. The cemetery has many very old headstones, dating back to the 1800s, made of many different materials such as marble, granite, and slate.

Here rests Hans Herr, the first Mennonite bishop to move to the Americas. He served as a religious leader in the region for the rest of his life, and the house built by his son down the road is the oldest surviving structure in Lancaster County.
