It is located on a small hill overlooking Lunken Airport[2] at 333 Wilmer Avenue on Cincinnati's east side.

The oldest cemetery in Hamilton County,[3] it lies at the site of Columbia Baptist Church, founded in 1790.

The fellow founder of Columbia and pioneer, soldier, and legislator Ephraim Kibbey (1756–1809) is memorialized here on the monument "To the First Boat-load" erected in 1879.

[6] Frederick L. Payne, then Supervising Horticulturalist for the Park Board, began a restoration project in 1967 for the cemetery.

Due to the presence of the cemetery, no excavation has ever been conducted there; consequently, all that is known about the village is that it was inhabited during the Woodland period.
