"A Walk Back In Time" Cemetery Tours

The Lynden Pioneer Museum in conjunction with Moles-Good Steward Funerals and the City of Lynden is pleased to present "A Walk Back In Time" cemetery tours at the Lynden Public Cemetery.

Visit the resting places of the Judsons, Hawleys, Berthusens, Tennants and other local pioneer families. 

The Lynden public cemetery was founded in 1889 when the Lynden Masonic Lodge and Odd Fellows created the cemetery as a community burial ground. 

Landowners donated the land in 1891 to form the Lynden Cemetery Association. The Cemetery was maintained and operated by the Lynden Lodge until 1974 then became Whatcom County Cemetery District 10.

The cemetery contains many interesting and historic grave sites that include early pioneers, war heros, settlers, homesteaders, native princesses and unique gravestones.

Cemetery tours are available every Saturday through October 15 at 1:00. These FREE tours take approximately one hour.

Meet at the Lynden Cemetery on the south corner of the Guide and Front Street. 

If you are interested in a private tour or tours outside the regular tour schedule please contact Troy at the Lynden Pioneer Museum at 360.354.3675.

These cemetery tours are presented as a free community service.

Thanks again to Moles-Good Steward Funerals for their support of this program.
