Minnetrista Baptist Church Cemetery

Minnetrista Township, Hennepin County, Minnesota

T117N – R24W, Section 32

This cemetery is upkept and in good shape.  There were several replaced burial monuments.  It is situated a top a small knob hill along Highland Drive, one half mile north of the intersection of Kennedy Memorial Drive and Highland Drive.  There is a swampy area surrounding the east side of the cemetery.  The Minnetrista Baptist Church is situated at the intersection of Kennedy Memorial Drive and Highland Drive. 

On page 260 of the 1881 History of Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis, it states The German Baptist Church, located on Section 32, was organized November 22, 1858, and the present church, a log structure, was built in 1865, at a cost of about $150.  It has services every Sunday, also a Sunday school, which is well maintained.
