"Since 1887: The Williston Cemetery" in Gallery II

“Scenes in the Cemetery” will be on exhibit from October 3rd to the 28th in Gallery II.

Photographer Monica Tininenko-Reuter and local historian Adrienne Stepanek have put together a beautiful exhibit featuring Riverview Cemetery spanning over a century.

Riverview Cemetery will be forever the final resting place for thousands of persons, young and old, who are and will be buried in Williston’s cemetery. The site was founded 135 years ago with the death and burial of 13-year-old Gustaf Marelius, who died suddenly from appendicitis while staying with his father at the boarding house of pioneer homesteader Fannie Cates.

Throughout many years and in all seasons, people find the cemetery grounds a place of solitude to walk or drive through on a daily basis.

A variety of informational brochures and maps are available at the cemetery office or Williston Public Works. Please contact them at 701-577-3951 or 701-577-6368 for office hours.

NOTE: This exhibit is different than the wonderful display featured at the Williston Community Library recently.
