God's Acre Cemetery is the earliest public burial ground in the southern part of the village of Weedsport. The exact date of its establishment is unknown. Early interment markers, primarily made of slate and limestone, have mostly disappeared. The whereabouts of the missing stones remain unknown and are currently under investigation.

The cemetery served the pioneer hamlet once known as Macedonia. The construction of the Erie Canal—particularly Weeds Basin—spurred population growth, prompted a northward shift, and contributed to the town's development. Today, the small God's Acre Cemetery stands as one of the few remaining traces of the original settlement.

The opening of the Weedsport Rural Cemetery in 1860 led to the swift abandonment of the God's Acre site. The last recorded burial took place in 1873. A lack of funding and public interest caused the cemetery to fall into neglect, becoming overgrown with weeds and brush. In 1916, following civic pressure, the State Legislature passed a bill authorizing the cleanup of the grounds. Except in a few cases where surviving relatives withheld permission, all movable stones were removed and stacked at the rear of the lot. The rationale behind this project remains a subject of debate in the community.

Fortunately, before the stones were removed, Raymond B. Traver, a young local surveyor, mapped the lot and recorded most of the burials based on the original inscriptions. Today, the stones no longer remain at the back of the lot, and sadly, only a few have survived. In recent years, however, some families have installed new headstones to honor their ancestors—particularly those who served in the military.
