Bohemian National Cemetery
Wisconsin State Highway 27
Township of Arthur
This
cemetery, with original records written in Czech dated October
22, 1905, nestles in the heart of the Bohemian farm settlement
¼ mile north of their Fraternal Hall on Highway 27.
The
33 families who cleared the land and plotted it into 10'
x 20' lots drew numbers to determine their burial plots.
A double-paged ledger documents each gravesite with many
pioneer names continuing today.
Commemorative
services are held each year to honor and preserve the unique
and precious Czech heritage as they contributed and blended
into the American culture.
