Riverside Cemetery is one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in Oshkosh. Riverside Cemetery was established in 1850. Additional property was purchased 1887 and 1914 to comprise a total of 120 acres of land, which is the cemetery as we know it today. 

Our dedicated arborist and grounds keepers maintain the landscape of this beautiful cemetery to perfection year round. 

Riverside Cemetery is rich in historical significance to the Oshkosh community. On June 6, 2003, Riverside Cemetery had the honor of being placed on the National Register of Historic Places. An honor this special place truly deserves.

The chapel at the main entrance to the cemetery was built in 1920-1921 by Oshkosh architect Julius Dreger. The chapel is designed in the classic Romanesque Revival style popular in the 1920’s. In the 1900’s church services were celebrated in this chapel daily. The cemetery and chapel was serviced by a trolley, which stopped outside the chapel doors.
