Rochester Cemetery -

 

This cemetery is located south of 290th St on  Cemetery Rd just west of the town of Rochester.  Although still an active  cemetery,  it is a  remnant oak-savannah prairie and many wildflowers still bloom there. The shooting stars are still impressive in the spring.  There is a story that Sarah Bernhart’s mother is buried there and that she stopped to visit the cemetery once when she was in the area.  This cemetery is a popular destination for wildflower walks and field trips.
