Along the way, I have posted re cemeteries we come across either around town or while on the road. There is a historical draw to these sites that often combine with visuals and stories to move the imagination.
A few years ago, I became aware of a very old, unmarked cemetery West of Portland. I have wanted to find historical data on this small, overgrown plot of land, but alas I can’t seem to find anything. Yesterday, I came upon a very informative resource that purportedly lists all known cemeteries/burial plots in Oregon (excepting private pioneer burials I am sure). Still the list does not contain the cemetery I am researching, but it certainly has many others that beg additional research and exploration into history. Travel, photography and writing are inspired by cemeteries….particularly pioneer cemeteries.

Beautiful imagery! I love pioneers and am soon moving out to Australia where I’m sure I’ll have an abundance of Piorneer stuff!

Love your photos! I’ve always loved wandering through and photographing old cemeteries. I live in upstate New York and we have many here, and I’ve also visited many on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. They are some of the most poetic, beautiful places…so much character!
