Zoar Lutheran Cemetery - Walnut Street
Established 1892
In September of 1892, Zoar Lutheran Church was formed by several families, including the family of Even O. Hinderlie. Mr. Hinderlie donated an acre of land east of town for a chapel and cemetery for the new congregation. This remained our church home until 1911, but the cemetery is still part of the Zoar community.

Zoar Lutheran Cemetery - Barlow Road Established 1906
In the early 1900s, two small Lutheran congregations, the Zion Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Scandinavian American Evangelical Lutheran Church, both in Barlow, purchased south of Barlow for a cemetery. Eventually, both congregations joined Zoar and the cemetery came with them.
