In the heart of this historic town, the Manteo Cemetery continues to be an attraction for tourists, nature lovers and dog walkers, as well as an active cemetery. First founded in 1870 with the burial of Stephen Wescott in what is now called the "old section," the cemetery has been expanded three times, and currently contains more than 2300 burials. In the 1880s, the Mount Olivet Methodist Church began to bury their congregants in the northwest corner, which sometimes led to the graveyard being known as the "Mount Olivet Cemetery." While modest in size, the cemetery is laid out in Victorian style with a central walkway, a garden and covered pavilion. Since 1988 it has been designated as a Historic Landmark Site.
