Green’s Prairie Cemetery is a time vault of the prairie plants that once covered the south central Wisconsin prairie. Because it was used as a cemetery starting in 1845, it was never plowed and fencing kept out cows. Today the cemetery is still covered with prairie plants such as compass plant and bluestem.
The prairie is burned every spring to help control invasive species and to make it easier for people to find the graves of their ancestors. Metal shields and plenty of water prevent damage to the gravestones.
There are believed to be a hundred and thirty-seven people buried here, including two veterans from the War of 1812 and veterans from the Civil War and their families.
University of Wisconsin classes visit the cemetery to see a slice of native prairie.
