It was one of the first formal burial grounds in Wyoming, and is one of the few remaining vestiges of the town.

By the late 1880s coal mining dropped off and the railroad moved elsewhere, and the town began to die.

[2][3] The 5-acre (2.0 ha) site occupies an exposed location about nine miles southwest of Medicine Bow, Wyoming.

It is surrounded by joined wood and metal posts, with a graveled loop road through the site.

The graves include traditional headstones as well as rock cairns, typically marking undocumented burials.
