The NE Quarter of Section 22 in Township 147 N, Range 91 W
-----------------------------------------------------------
Twin Buttes Congregational Cemetery is easy to get to and very well marked. It is approximately 2 1/2 miles northwest of Twin Buttes, ND on the Fort Berthold Reservation. The Fort Berthold Reservation is the home of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Tribes, which together comprise the Three Affiliated Tribes.

This cemetery is fenced with a large, clearly visible sign over the gate. It had been mowed and was well maintained. Directions from Twin Buttes are to follow Highway 8 north 1.6 miles. At mile marker 129, turn left onto Road 20 and proceed northwest another 3/4 mile. The cemetery is to your right, on the northeast side of the road.

Many graves at Twin Buttes Congregational Cemetery may have been relocated from other sites. Most likely their original burials had been various sites in the bottom lands. In 1954, the reservation lost 152,300 acres to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the filling of Lake Sakakawea. These relocated graves appear to have been identified with the same type of marker. These markers are cement blocks, approximately 5 inches by 5 inches square with a plastic-type plaque mounted on the top which makes note of the individual's name, and birth and/or death years when available. Some markers also indicate a cemetery by a single letter of the alphabet, and grave number. Unfortunately, the plastic-type material on which the engraving was done is not holding up well to the elements. Many of these markers are too lichen populated to decipher completely or have broken and are now missing.

There are no interment records for Twin Buttes Congregational Cemetery. This list was created only from the tombstone transcriptions and is not complete. As of May 30th, 2003, there were 93 marked gravesites.

Historical information was obtained from the book Dauntless Dunn II - 1989 A History of Dunn County North Dakota page 24.

*These sites are marked by what may be a standard relocated grave marker. Most are lichen filled, weathered and difficult to decipher. Some may have had more of an inscription at one time.
