About Us

Preserving Heritage. Honoring Lives. Serving Our Community.

The Wilbur Cemetery Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the care, preservation, and historical stewardship of the Wilbur Cemetery—a sacred resting place for generations of individuals who have shaped our community's history.

Founded by local volunteers and descendants of those interred here, our mission is to ensure that the cemetery remains a place of dignity, reflection, and remembrance. We believe that cemeteries are more than burial grounds—they are historical records, cultural landmarks, and symbols of the values and stories that define a community.

Our Mission

To maintain and protect Wilbur Cemetery with integrity, to honor those laid to rest, and to educate current and future generations about the rich history held within these grounds.

What We Do

  • Preservation & Maintenance: We oversee the upkeep of the cemetery grounds, including landscaping, repair of headstones, and restoration of historic markers.

  • Historical Documentation: We work to document burials, preserve genealogical records, and maintain accurate cemetery maps.

  • Community Engagement: Through events, clean-up days, and educational initiatives, we invite the public to take part in honoring and maintaining our shared heritage.

  • Advocacy: We advocate for the protection of historic cemeteries and work with local and state organizations to ensure Wilbur Cemetery is respected and preserved for generations to come.

Our Values

  • Respect for those who have passed and for their families.

  • Stewardship of the land and the memories it holds.

  • Community involvement and connection through shared responsibility.

  • History as a vital link between the past, present, and future.
