The Perryman Cemetery, located at 32nd and Utica, is Tulsa’s oldest private cemetery. The cemetery has approximately fifty people buried and has a small number of unmarked graves. The Perryman’s were instrumental in the foundation of Tulsa during the 19th century.
The earliest identified burial in the Perryman Cemetery took place in 1879, although the site is probably a fragment of an earlier, larger burying ground. The Cemetery is the city's oldest, continuously occupied tract of land.
