All that remains as the final resting place of many of our early pioneers are the graves at this historic site on Albany Highway in Kenwick. The site was used for burials from 1866 when it was part of the "Canning" district and ceased being a functioning cemetery in 2001.

Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery remains as a reminder of the struggles and achievements undertaken by the pioneers of this district. It ceased being a functioning cemetery in 2001.

This site has been registered as a place of significance by the National Trust of Australia (WA).

The cemetery rates a very brief mention at Wikipedia - User:Gnangarra/Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery. There is a lot of interesting information about the cemetery at Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery, and also at Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery by Margaret Lefevre.

The cemetery is host to the cache GC1TCJ5 Hard Times By AlliedOz / The Jokers.
