The cemetery is located on the north side of Morris Avenue about 150 feet southwest of its intersection with 1st Street. The cemetery is thought that the Ottawas used the land as a burial location as early as 1750. From 1806 to 1854, it was a burial ground for both Indians and settlers. Martin Ryerson deeded 1 acre at the corner of Morris Avenue and 1st Street to the city of Muskegon in 1926. A portion of that acre is now covered by a parking lot, and 0.4 acre still exists as a cemetery.
