Holdrege, Nebraska

The Plum Creek Massacre Cemetery in northern Phelps County rests on the open prairie as a quiet reminder of the struggles the early pioneers endured to settle the country. Three monuments within a fenced area are protected to the west by a row of cedar trees.

The seventeen cemeteries in Phelps County have been documented and published by the Phelps County Genealogical Society and are available at the Nebraska Prairie Museum.
