The location of the earliest cemetery at the St. Peter State Hospital is not known. The cemetery had wooden crosses for markers and a prairie fire erased all landmarks in a large area and the location of the cemetery was never found. The second hospital cemetery was in what is now Resurrection Cemetery, the cemetery & land on this side of the highway was later sold by the state but the cemetery continued as a Lutheran cemetery named Resurrection Cemetery. The third cemetery is located on the grounds of the current hospital but up on top of the hill from the hospital campus. All of these graves now have monuments with names as well as their original markers with numbers.

Ryan Lager. The location of the earliest cemetery at the St. Peter State Hospital is not known. The cemetery had wooden crosses for markers and a prairie fire erased all landmarks in a large area and the location of the cemetery was never found. The second hospital cemetery was in what is now Resurrection Cemetery, the cemetery & land on this side of the highway was later sold by the state but the cemetery continued as a Lutheran cemetery named Resurrection Cemetery. The third cemetery is located on the grounds of the current hospital but up on top of the hill from the hospital campus. All of these graves now have monuments with names as well as their original markers with numbers.
