Evergreen Cemetery (Menomonie, Wisconsin)
Evergreen Cemetery is a cemetery in Menomonie, Wisconsin and the largest in Dunn County. It was founded as a private cemetery by Knapp Stout and Company, Menomonie's huge lumber company. There are over 1100 graves in the "single grave" section of the cemetery, however many lack headstones because the earliest families could not afford to purchase them on a mill worker's salary. The cemetery is located on Lake Menomin.
