Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery began in 1850.
Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery Assoc. maintains the property through donations and membership fees.
Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery began in 1850 with two burials and was declared "full" in the 1950's.
The property was deeded to "the Public of Milwaukie" as a cemetery in 1869 by Mr. & Mrs. William Meeks and Mr. & Mrs. H. W. Eddy and the first Trustees were appointed at that time.
There are over 2150 burials according to the records we have been able to locate.
Funding for the Association's ongoing maintenance and projects comes primarily from donations and membership dues.
Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery Association provides for restoration projects and ongoing maintenance of the cemetery and helps to sustain a part of the history of the City of Milwaukie people into the future.
