About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Caledonia Memorial Park is located on Nicholson Road, between the intersections with 5 Mile Road and 6 Mile Road/Wisconsin Highway 38. The cemetery was surveyed on December 18, 1846, and includes a section that was used for unmarked burials during epidemics, including a cholera outbreak and the influenza epidemic of 1918. Originally containing five acres, three additional acres were purchased in 1968.

Past caretakers of Caledonia Memorial Park have included Frank John Kvapil and Henry William Daft. On June 17, 1935, the cemetery was leased by the town of Caledonia to the newly-formed Caledonia Memorial Park Association. Management of the cemetery returned to Caledonia in May 2002 after a vote by the association.
