Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Auburn Pioneer Cemetery may be more popularly known by its previous names: Faucett Cemetery or the Cemetery at Slaughter. Housing the burial of thousands of people, the cemetery showcases the rich history of the city of Auburn and the people who shaped the land over the years.

The cemetery is closed to new burials, but visitors today go there instead to learn about the lives of the people buried there - many of whom were Japanese and Japanese Americans who resided in White River Valley prior to WWII. The plots are separated as Japanese burials with Kanji markers, Japanese burials with English markers, unmarked Japanese burials, “Pioneer” burials, and unmarked “Pioneer” burials. Though many of the people who visit are descendants of those who have been buried there, many others go to learn about an important part of Auburn’s history.
