The Kennesaw Cemetery Preservation Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to supporting this historic resource. Through events, the Foundation also works to raise awareness of this unique space.
The Kennesaw City Cemetery is located in the heart of Downtown Kennesaw and has been the final resting place of area residents since 1863.
The Kennesaw City Cemetery is owned and operated by the City of Kennesaw. The Foundation works in partnership with the city’s Cemetery Preservation Commission to make sure the cemetery remains a vital part of downtown.
Our biggest annual event is the Life in the Cemetery tour. Each October, actors portray different residents of our cemetery. Visitors can take a guided walk and meet each resident.
The first tour, in 2022, shared the history of the city through the cemetery’s residents. The 2023 tour was all about the railroad in Kennesaw. In 2024, we highlighted veterans’ stories, and most recently the tour theme was “Putting Kennesaw on the Map.”
Thank you to all our 2025 sponsors! We can’t wait for our next tour!
