Red River Cemetery Entrance
Red River, NM
Red River Cemetery, Red River, New Mexico located on north side of New Mexico State Hwy. 38. West of the town of Red River across from the Red River RV Park. There are highway road signs for the Red River Cemetery. If the gate is unlocked you can drive right in or you can walk in using the area just left of the closed gate.
The Red River Cemetery is very historical with many unmarked graves.
There are 2 parts to this cemetery. One below and one across, east side, with a road going up to beautiful overlook. The upper cemetery is now full. The city is now acquiring additional burial lots below.

They had volunteers help and of course Red River Township supported during this endeavor and very thankful for their efforts.
