The cemetery is located on a parcel of land on which Zion Methodist (later United) Church stood. The first church, log, was built in 1856, and was replaced by a frame church built in 1876. The frame church was removed in 1969.
The cemetery lot was cleaned by the Township in 1974, and then in 1979 the Ashfield Council placed a cement pad at the front of the cemetery. Most stones are now mounted on the cement pad, with several larger monuments left standing. Some fragments of stones were found and kept, but the inscriptions were no longer legible.
