The Town Hall Office keeps records of the cemetery as far as who owns a plot, who is buried in the grave, and what plots are for sale. Currently, they are working hard with the Niobrara County Library to make sure that old records are as up to date as possible for record keeping purposes along with genealogy purposes. If you have a questions regarding purchase of a plot, re-sale of a plot, genealogy of a plot, or just would like some more information please contact the Town Hall at (307)334-3612 or try: www.niobraracountylibrary.org.
