Historic Gulf Cemetery

Created formally as a U.S. Government parcel on June 17, 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed patent 414435, Historic Gulf Cemetery is now a Florida Historic Site sponsored by the Gulf Cemetery Association, Inc and the Florida Department of State. The cemetery is interdenominational and serves as the resting place for veterans as well as pioneer families who were instrumental in establishing the South Walton community. Managed by non-paid volunteers, the cemetery maintains 40 acres of graceful hills with mature trees and continues its quality care through the sale of burial lots and donations.
