Farrs Chapel Cemetery contains more than 150 tombstones placed since the 1850s. War veterans, county officials, and early preachers are buried here.

Land for the cemetery was given in 1873 by Joshua and Matilda (McMahon) Westbrook. More land was donated in 1892 by their son William Jarvis Westbrook, and his wife Mary (Johnson) Westbrook.

Originally, the graveyard was maintained in the "scraped" style, in which all grass is removed from the graves. Below is a photo of Farrs Chapel Cemetery, circa 1970's.

Later, the cemetery was returned to it's natural state, with grass throughout.
