The land was originally purchased in 1832 by Christ Church as a burial ground for its parishioners. The cemetery became extremely important during the 1833 cholera epidemic, during which one third of the congregation died. On the ground is a small chapel that was built in 1867. The burying ground and chapel were added to the National Register of Historic Places in June of 1976.

Governing Body; Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington, Kentucky

The cemetery is gated and locked because it is a historic site and has been subject to vandalism. But if you contact Christ Church they will give you the gate code to visit and see the graves. No fees or appoin required.
