The site is located in the Kennebec County town of Fayette, in a small settlement known as Fayette Corners. Occupying just .35 of an acre, the raised burial ground is notable for its design in which concentric rings of burial plots are organized around a central monument, characteristics which it shares with the nearby, national Register listed Wing Cemetery in Wayne.
The Lagassey Farm is a 162 acre property in Saint Agatha. The land was homesteaded by the Lagassey family starting in the mid-nineteenth century, and has been in their possession ever since.

The buildings within this small district include the 1946 Lagassey House, the 1916 Acadian-style Barn, a pre-1916 Acadian-style outbuilding, and a shed that was once part of the former, nineteenth-century farm house.

All three were essentially vernacular structures that featured Greek Revival style decorative central doors framed by almost identical sets of sidelights and top lights and ornamented with narrow pilasters and capitals.
