2024 Pioneer Cemetery Walk

Join local historian and McHenry County cemetery expert Trudie Dryer as she takes you on a walking tour of the final resting place of Mchenry County's earliest pioneers. This early settler cemetery was originally known as "the burying ground" without any other purpose. Across the road was an early small schoolhouse, and on February 7, 1855, three trustees of the school named it the School District 1 Burying Ground Association. It subsequently became the property of Rural School District 10 in 1944 and, following that, in 1969, was absorbed, along with the remainder of Woodstock's schools, into District 200. District 200 remains the caretaker for this tiny cemetery home to many early pioneers. Around the turn of the century, the name was formally changed to Pioneer Cemetery.  Rain Date 6/9/24 1 - 2:30
