Evergreen Cemetery was established in 1856. The City of Gainesville assumed ownership
in 1944 and it remains the only municipal cemetery in Gainesville. This historic site
also functions as an outdoor museum with stories of local historic developmental importance
unfolding at every turn. In addition to the thousands of people to come to Evergreen
to attend funerals, the cemetery also attracts visitors with interests in genealogy,
tombstone art, photography and native plant material.
