Historic Quinette Cemetery

Established in 1866 as a free burial place for persons of African descent residing within five miles, Quinette Cemetery is thought to be the oldest remaining cemetery for African Americans in St. Louis County, with more than 100 individuals buried there. Olive Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church owned the cemetery from 1866 to 1987. The cemetery was donated to the city of Kirkwood in 2002 and is now known as "Historic Quinette Cemetery."
