CALEDONIA CEMETERY, RINGGOLD COUNTY, IOWA
The Caledonia Cemetery is located approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile west of the Caledonia town site on County Road J-55.
The cemetery is situated 1/4 of a mile from the cemetery sign back through a pasture. It is not visible from the road
and there isn't a path to the cemetery outside of following tire tracks through the grass.
CAUTION: There are tree
stumps which aren't visible when the grass is tall. There are also 3 passes that can be tricky if there has been
a recent rain that may create a wash-out with a couple of steep gullies on the opposite side. The cemetery is in a state
of excellent condition and maintenance. Many of the stones which were broken have been repaired. In the center of the
cemetery is an ancient fir tree. It is a beautiful cemetery with many old gravestones. I believe my photographs do not
do this cemetery justice. There are many unmarked gravesites at this cemetery.
