Green Ridge Cemetery (Kenosha, Wisconsin)

Green Ridge Cemetery is a 48-acre burial site located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Previously known as Kenosha City Cemetery, the earliest burials took place in 1836, including some of Kenosha's earliest American settlers. The land was originally part of the estate of Charles Durkee; his wife, Catherine, was one of the first burials at the site, and he donated the land to establish the cemetery in 1838. The cemetery is now the final resting place for over 30,000 people, including many of the most prominent citizens from the history of Kenosha.
