This active cemetery was established in 1845. It was organized as a society in Jun 1847, but the church itself was not established until Oct. 18, 1848. At that time it was the only Reformed Presbyterian Church or Coventanter's Church in Wisconsin.

The congregation purchased land in Section 11 for the church and cemetery from B. Webster. The church was built in 1854. The first burial was William McLeod. The last regular service of the church was in 1920, but it officially dissolved in the late 1930s. The last trustee died in 1968.

The denomination turned the building and land over to the cemetery association with the understanding that it would be restored and that the grounds would still be available for burials.
