The northwest section of the cemetery is its oldest portion, and includes a number of unmarked gravesites.

The cemetery continues in active use today, and contains a representative sample of funerary art spanning 300 years.

It now covers more than 9 acres (3.6 ha), extending between Main and Grove Streets.

Its main entrance features posts with an Egyptian Revival theme, a style continued with the presence of obelisks dispersed on the grounds.
