Founded soon after the Civil War, Victor Cemetery has over 480 interments and is still an active cemetery. The cemetery is fenced and well kept.
The Victor Cemetery Association has built a covered pavilion on the west side, where the annual meeting and pot luck dinner are held on the last Saturday morning in May. There is an outhouse here with gender-separate stalls and a small amount of unpaved parking.

The cemetery served the community of Victor. Victor was settled soon after the Civil War. The post office opened in 1890 and was discontinued in 1907. In 1947 the settlement of some fifty residents included a cemetery, a school, a church, and a store. Only the cemetery remains now.
