Pioneer Cemetery, also known as Evans Center Cemetery, is a historic cemetery located at Evans Center, Erie County, New York, USA. It consists of 10 to 11 rows of burials, with the oldest dating to 1810. The majority of the burials date between 1810 and 1860, with the most recent burial in 1928. Most are marked with simple tablet headstones. It features hilly terrain with a prominent rise at the center of the cemetery.[2]
The cemetery is a burial ground of many early settlement-era families.[3] It also includes at least three veterans of the American Revolution, as well as a number of veterans from the American Civil War.[4] Asa Ames, who was a mid-19th sculptor, is also another significant burial that took place in this cemetery.[5]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
