One of the oldest European burial grounds in the area now encompassed in the Bega Valley Shire and including the first known pioneer graves, Tarraganda Cemetery is an important link with the establishment of white settlement in the district.
The first interments made there were Dr. George Imlay, who took his own life in December 1846 and after whom Dr. George Mountain is named, and his brother Alexander who died in March the following year. An iron fence once surrounded the two graves but this has since disappeared. The remainder of the site is a private cemetery mainly for members of the extended Wren family. In addition to the nineteen graves in the cemetery, Gunner Henry Erasmus Wren, second son of W. W. Wren Senior, is also remembered. He died of wounds in Rouen, France in 1916 while serving during World War 1.
