Walk among the Georgians who came before.

The Story

Also known as the Old Duluth Cemetery, this burial ground served as Duluth's earliest town cemetery before the Methodist churchyard became the community's primary resting place. Following that shift, the grounds were set aside for use by Duluth's Black community, preserving an often-overlooked chapter of the town's early history.
