The cemetery was first visited in March, 2016. As pictured, gravestones and the surrounding environment presented neglect. Three obelisks were located; less than ten gravestones were located. The stone wall was partially intact. Vegetation and fallen tree limbs consumed much of the parcel.

In the quiet hills of New Oregon, a small burial ground known as the Sweet Family Cemetery sees few visitors. Timeworn marble gravestones are hidden behind a fieldstone wall under a group of towering locust trees. I hope to make repairs and help preserve this special site. I look forward to sharing progress with you.
