The cemetery directions leaving Badger take County Road #3 south for 5 � miles, turn left (east) on County Road 4 for 2 miles at the curve (which goes right south) take the road north off the curve a short ways & the cemetery will be on your right (east) side.

This cemetery established year of 1900 contains 2 acres given by Carl & Linna Swenson on the 12 April 1902 to the Nannestad Congregation & the Norwegian Lutheran Hauge Synod Church of America. The church was moved to the Pioneer Farm for use of the many church functions at this site.

A cemetery board is elected at the annual meeting & holds ownership that take care of the cemetery requests. The upkeep is done by 3 groups during the summer months. The cemetery is in very good condition, gated & completely fenced around.

The cemetery has a engraved plate marking where the church once stood, also the flag pole stands next to this location. Many new trees have been planted for beautification of this cemetery.

I did a complete walk thru, reading all of the visible headstones. This is a complete transcript as of Apr 10, 2010. A digital camera has been used for pictures.
