Lindsay was the first cemetery in the Due West area, and is very representative of the cemeteries of that era. Of particular note is that many of the Pratt family are buried there, a lineage that extends to President Jimmy Carter. The cemetery is on private land, and prior permission from town officials is required to visit the site. The site was listed in the National Historic Register on May 27, 2009.[3]
