Indian Fields Cemetery - Section 2, 2027 East Milham Avenue (O Avenue), just
west of Portage Road (and south of the Kalamazoo Airport ), City of Portage.
In pre settlement times the largest Indian encampment was at what the early
settlers called Indian Fields, a large open tract that eventually became the
Kalamazoo Airport. The Indians Fields Cemetery was likely an Indian burial
grounds, but the settlers took it over and established their own cemetery in 1832. It is just west of Portage Road, once a main Indian trail from Kalamazoo to the south area of the county.
