Known as Old Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, this cemetery was abandoned in the early 1900's. Many graves were moved to the Catholic section of the new Union Cemetery northeast of Mandan and it is unknown how many people are actually buried here. There are about 15 graves with an identifying tombstone. There are several other apparent graves with only the base of a marker, or unreadable broken stones, and also several other areas that look like the bodies were removed and the old grave was never completely filled in. There is even an old wooden tombstone, but there is no writing or engraving visible anymore.

Even though it is abandoned, the county keeps it mowed and looking somewhat nice.

Although the cemetery is visible on the south side of Lohstreter road, there is no road leading to this cemetery. To get to the cemetery, you will need to go through the ditch along Lohstreter Road and climb over two barbed wire fences, or go to the farm at the end of the road and go through the gate and through the pasture to the cemetery. There is no trail to follow and it is not a good place to drive or walk. There is a gate on the north side of the fence that you can go through.
