The Illinois Historic Structures Survey described the gates as the best extant example of iron cemetery gate design in the state. A number of prominent past citizens of both Sycamore and nearby DeKalb are buried in the cemetery. The gates have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 28, 1978.
