The entrances are at the traffic circle, 1st Ave, or Daniel Street.

The parish of St. Mary's German Catholic Church purchased these grounds in 1874 to create St. Mary's Cemetery. The first burials were Catholic re-interments from Shockoe Cemetery and the old Bishop's Cemetery. The newly established cemetery was used exclusively for the parishioners of St. Mary's until 1924, when it was incorporated as Holy Cross Cemetery and its use expanded for all the Catholic community of Richmond.
