This peaceful treed site in the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton has two cemeteries side by side. On one side of a small fence is the cemetery for members of the Henderson family, who homesteaded at SE24-1-19W. Next to it is the cemetery for Old Wakopa, a former community that was once located near here. The cemeteries are situated on private property and permission is required prior to visiting.
In July 1997, a commemorative plaque was erected here. It lists some of the people buried in the cemeteries.
