Quiet on the Grounds

If You Are Visiting The Veterans Cemetery

These are the rules you have to follow.

The Cemetery is Open From Dawn To Dusk

Please do not enter the premises after dark. You just might be locked in, if the chain goes up before you leave.

Although it isn't permitted, you wouldn't find a quieter place to rest your head, even if you have to sleep in your car.

As the sign, indicates, you are welcome to put fresh flowers on your loved one's grave site, and even artificial ones, but no POTTED PLANTS PLEASE!!

Do not put stuffed animals or hang photo's on the grave sites. An American flag is okay, but keep the size to a minimum.

Please Adhere to the Cemetery Rules

No Fishing or Hunting

The cemetery is surrounded by a wooded area, there is to be absolutely no hunting on the premises. There is a beautiful pond on the premises, that might or might not have fish in it, but there is absolutely no fishing on the grounds.

As you will notice in the photo below, this beautiful pond, the United States Government, has made for you. You may notice ducks swimming on the pond from time to time, and even walking on the roadways.

The government has provided this bit of nature for you, and be mindful not to hit the ducks when they are walking on the roadways. They are part of the beauty of this cemetery. Please don't throw anything in the water, and it can cause pollution, and interfere with the flow of water. That means no "Swimming", in the Summer and "No Ice Skating", in the Winter.

No throwing coins in the water. I realize it is tempting and you might feel it brings you luck, but it also is polluting, and you take the risk of falling in the pond and drowning.

No Parking on the Grass

There is "No Parking" on the grass. This is self explanatory. The Federal government spends a lot of money each year to up keep your cemetery, for your veterans and family members. Be respectful of that, and "Do Not Park on the Grass". It will damage the grass that the grounds maintenance crew work hard to maintain. It you see a car or truck parked on the grass, please report it to the office. Do not approach the vehicle yourself, we do not need a confrontation among our visitors.

No Pets Allowed

This means any pet, dogs, cats, gold fish or any other creature or reptile. No, you can't walk your dog or cat on a leash. I mentioned previously how our manintenance crew worked diligently to keep this cemetery clean and beautiful. No, you can't carry a doggy poop bag with you in case your dog has to relieve himself. Leave little "fido" at home when you come visit your loved one.

No Alcoholic Beverages on the Premises

This one is important, as we don't need people under the influence of alcohol, acting out in unfavorable ways. We don't need empty containers thrown all over the grounds either, so leave your booze at home.

Cigarette Smoking

Please don't leave cigarette butts on the ground. If you must smoke, pick up your butts. It takes away from the beauty of the grounds.

No Drugs

It goes without saying, this is not a place, for drugs. Be mindful.

No Trespassing After Dark

As we previously stated, the cemetery closes at dusk. Any person entering after that time, will be considered a trespasser.

Keep Children Supervised At All Times

We are not responsible for your children. Keep them supervised at all times. We are not responsible for your children being hurt.

However, you are responsible for the damage your child does to this Federal Cemetery.

Be Advised---

No Loud Noices

No loud noices, please, people are resting, so to speak.
