About Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery

Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery is a long-established historic cemetery in Clifton Park Center and is part of the larger Clifton Park Center Baptist Church and Cemetery historic site. Public sources describe it as a burial ground with approximately 350 burials and note that it sits beside the historic brick church building and is enclosed by a cast and wrought iron picket fence and gate.

This cemetery is especially important because it preserves some of Clifton Park’s earliest local burial history and provides a practical starting point for people researching older memorials, visiting family graves, and planning respectful cemetery care.

Because older cemeteries experience long-term weather exposure, moisture, biological growth, and seasonal change, memorials can gradually lose readability or develop staining. That is why preservation-safe cleaning and respectful cemetery care are often important for families visiting Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery.

Cemetery Location & Burial Research

Public sources place Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery at 713 Clifton Park Center Road, Clifton Park, NY 12065. The cemetery is associated with the historic church property and is commonly referred to as the old part of the Clifton Park Center Baptist Church cemetery.

Families researching this cemetery should compare memorial names, family surnames, and dates carefully across cemetery listings and historic-site references. Using both names — Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery and Clifton Park Center Baptist Church and Cemetery — can make cemetery visits and service coordination much easier.

• search using both Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery and Clifton Park Center Baptist Church Cemetery
• confirm the Clifton Park Center Road location before requesting service
• include the memorial name, family surname, or approximate area when requesting service

Burial Records & Research Resources

If you are trying to verify burial information or better understand the cemetery before requesting service, the following public resources may help.

• Find a Grave: Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery
• Clifton Park Center Baptist Church and Cemetery
• National Register listings in Saratoga County

These public records support the cemetery’s address, historic-site status, early establishment timeline, and approximate burial count.

Historic Site Context

Public historic-site records describe the congregation as beginning around 1794, the cemetery around 1801, and the church building itself as dating to 1837. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

That historic context matters because older family graves and early settlement burials may be tied to both church history and cemetery records, not just modern burial listings.
