Said to be the first cemetery in the Colorado Springs area, this cemetery was established in 1859. It was located on a ridge between Red Rock Canyon and the old Colorado-Philadelphia reduction works, northwest of the present junction of 31st Street and Highway 24. The site was chosen because it protected burial parties from surprise attack by Indians. It was abandoned because during the winter the ground was too hard to dig.
