St. Adalbert Cemetery (Milwaukee)
St. Adalbert Cemetery is a historic Catholic cemetery traditionally used by the Polish American minority population in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The cemetery was originally consecrated as St. Adalbert Cemetery in 1888 after the land was purchased by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee; for the first several decades, the cemetery was informally referred to as Polish Union Cemetery, as it was a shared cemetery serving several Milwaukee Polish Catholic parishes. The name St. Adalbert Cemetery took over common usage under the leadership of Archbishop Sebastian Gebhard Messmer in the early 20th century. The 98 acres (40 ha) site contains approximately 64,000 graves and 19,000 other interments, such as crypts and niches. It is the final resting place for most of the city's notable Polish American figures.
