Rochester #Iowa Oak Savanna #Cemetery uses untilled land with minimal modifications to the landscape. Historically it has not been plowed or planted. Some residents prefer a neatly kept appearance. The debate is ongoing. Visually it is an engaging location

Cool subject matter. I just thought I’d mention a category of interest to devotees of cemetery minutae.

You’ll see them occasionally.
