Calvary Cemetery was owned by St. Bernard's Roman Catholic Church, which was the first Catholic Church in Cohoes (cornerstone laid in 1847). After Father Keveny arrived in Cohoes in 1855 he purchased land for Calvary Cemetery. Calvary Cemetery was last used in 1936 and was permanently closed in 1958. Some of the burials were re-interred in other cemeteries. Calvary Cemetery is located at the one way part of Bridge Ave where it meets Lincoln Ave. It lies south of Bridge street and west of Saratoga street, along the Delaware & Hudson Railroad line.

It is posted "Private Property" with permission needed to enter. There are only two visible markers left (Rev John Talbot Smith and Michael English), and they have already been photographed.
