Spanish Fork Heritage Cemetery
On a quiet bluff above the Spanish Fork River bottoms lies one of the community's oldest surviving pioneer burial grounds. Used from 1851 until 1866 and later nearly forgotten, the cemetery preserves the graves of some of Spanish Fork's earliest settlers and the story of a community that faced death, hunger, disease, crop failure, and uncertainty together.
Original Goshen Pioneer Cemetery
Hidden about 300 yards north of this roadside monument is Goshen's original pioneer burial ground, a remnant of the community's earliest and repeatedly relocated settlements. At least eighteen identified pioneers remain buried there, while others were moved to a newer cemetery with no surviving record of exactly whose remains were relocated.
Pleasant Green Cemetery
Established in 1883, Pleasant Green Cemetery is a historic pioneer burial ground in the Oquirrh foothills above Magna. Recognized as the first cemetery west of the Jordan River, it became the final resting place of many early settlers and community leaders who helped establish Pleasant Green, Magna, Hunter, Ragtown, Coonville, and other communities of the western Salt Lake Valley.
Wight's Fort Cemetery
Wight's Fort Cemetery began in the early 1850s on a small knoll beside what would soon become Wight's Fort. Its earliest known graves—an unidentified Native American infant and the infant son of pioneer settlers Lyman and Harriet Bateman Wight—began a burial ground that became the final resting place of many of West Jordan's earliest settlers.
