Potter Cemetery

Potter Cemetery is a privately owned, historic cemetery located in Ash Township in the U.S. state of Michigan. The cemetery was established as early as 1847 with its last known gravesite dating to 1930. By 1968, the state abandoned the cemetery, and it later became inaccessible as a result of privat

e property surrounding the cemetery. This led to changes in state law prohibiting cemeteries from being landlocked with the passage of Public Act 525 of 2012. This allowed for recent restoration efforts, and the cemetery and state legislation were dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site in 2017.
