The cemetery includes approximately 250–300 total gravestones. Forty two of the stones have dates ranging from the 1790s to 1840, but all were carved between about 1835 to 1840.

St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church is a historic church building in northeastern Darke County, Ohio, United States. Located south of the village of Versailles, it is believed to be the region's last remaining log church built during the period of settlement. Although Wayne Township was settled primarily by individuals of English and French descent, the members of St. Peter's Church were Germans. The church was built in 1850 by its members upon land donated by Frederick Frengott Seibt; the congregation erected their church on the lower portion of this ground and plotted their cemetery on the upper portion. Since that time, the structure has been modified little; the only significant change has been the addition of a small belfry in 1867. Inside, the church retains a high degree of historic integrity: still in place are the wood-burning stove, the reed organ, the hand-carven pulpit, and the original sandblasted windows.
