Highland Cemetery
Cemetery Grounds
New Castle’s Cemetery was founded in 1888, the same year the Town of New Castle was incorporated. The earliest recorded burials are from 1890. Among the first known burials were Civil War veterans who settled in New Castle after the war. The old gate entrance stands at the end of the dirt road to the cemetery.
New access was then provided by Clubhouse Drive. A sign was created for the new entrance by Mike Miller and dedicated on Memorial Day, 2010. Highland Cemetery is rustically operated with grounds keeping limited to twice a year and is unmanned aside from grave markings.
