The cemetery is located on both sides of Maple Avenue about 0.1 miles west of its intersection with Cross Brook Drive.

The cemetery was established in May 1871. With the extension of Maple Avenue through the cemetery in 1889, the white and African American sections were separated by the road. The African American section is referred to as Pewee Valley Cemetery East and is on the north side of Maple Avenue. In 1904, a section of the cemetery on the south side of Maple Avenue was assigned to the State of Kentucky for use by the Kentucky Confederate Home as a Confederate Burying Ground.
