BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A rural cemetery in Ramsey County has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The register is the federal government’s list of properties it deems worthy of recognition and preservation.
The State Historical Society says the Sons of Jacob Cemetery near Garske is the oldest cemetery for a Jewish agricultural community in North Dakota and is the only site remaining from the Garske Colony.
The cemetery has stones with traditional Jewish funerary symbols and inscriptions, and also uncommon homemade grave markers.
