The Eagle River Cemetery, also called the Evergreen Cemetery, is a cemetery located on highway M-26 about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south of Eagle River, Michigan.[1][2] It was listed as a Michigan State Historic Site on July 17, 1986, and is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Keweenaw Peninsula.[1]
The cemetery holds 317 graves that date from 1843 through the present; 98 from the nineteenth century.[1] However, the owner of the cemetery property, the Cliff Mining Company, did not officially set it aside until 1876.[1]
