The Columbia Cemetery in Columbia, Missouri has been in use as a cemetery since 1820.[2] The cemetery historically contains, White, African-American, and Jewish (Beth Olem Cemetery, Beth Shalom Cemetery) sections. Located in the cemetery are a vernacular stone receiving vault (1887), and a Romanesque Revival style mausoleum (1911).[3]
Located on Broadway just west of Downtown Columbia, the cemetery contains many burials of prominent people associated with Missouri history, the University of Missouri, or the city of Columbia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1] It is still an operating cemetery with room for many more burials and celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2020.
