An old Anglican cemetery near Emerson in the Rural Municipality of Emerson-Franklin contains over 20 stone monuments, some from as early as the 1870s. It was Emerson's only cemetery but was abandoned in 1900 in favour of the present Emerson Cemetery to the west because the often muddy and flooded Bradley Creek had to be crossed for access. This cemetery became overgrown by vegetation. Through the efforts of local citizens, it has been cleaned up and all monuments are now clearly visible.

To reach the site, follow the Trans-Canada Trail straight east from the newer cemetery. Blue directional arrows mark the way along a grass trail about a half-mile in length, accessible only to pedestrians, not vehicles. (Source: Manitoba Historical Society; with adaptations)
