This is a historic African-American burial ground establised in 1866, located at 12188 Old Big Bend Road, Kirkwood, MO. Originally associated with the Olive Chapel AME Church in Kirkwood, ownership was transfered to the City of Kirkwood in 2003. Long neglected, a recent effort to clean and improve the cemetery has been made by Youth In Action - a Kirkwood youth service group.

Currently Quinette Cemetery is under consideration by Kirkwood City Council for designation as a city park.
