This interesting Chasefield Plantation Cemetery was originally created on the grounds of the plantation, however, the plantation was absorbed by Naval Air Station Pensacola across Pensacola Bay from the site. The graves of the Chasefield Plantation Cemetery were disinterred and moved across the bay to where they reside today on board Fort Pickens in 1957.
A small park service sign near the cemetery reads as follows:
"CHASEFIELD PLANTATION GRAVESTONES
These gravestones are from Chasefield Plantation Cemetery, originally located on land that is now part of Pensacola Naval Air Station. They were moved to this location in 1957.
Chasefield Plantation was the home of Maj. William H Chase, who supervised the construction of Fort Pickens in the early 1800s."
The cemetery is listed on Find-A-Grave as holding 16 graves: (
