In 1853, the village purchased 13 acres from Andrew Porteus of Queensbury, New York for the sum of $1000, with $500 set aside for grading and fencing. The first burial took place in 1855, but there are several older markers which were moved here from the old West Street Cemetery in  the early 1870s. After several expansions, the cemetery now spans 32 acres with over 12,000 burials. Notable structures. The Memorial Chapel (1946) is a small, front gabled stone building with a slate roof. The cemetery office (1950) is a concrete stucco finished building with a peaked slate roof. The cemetery includes a number of notable burial monuments and mausoleum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
