From 12th & Main in Hays go 3.5 miles northwest on 12th Street, the cemetery will be on the northeast side of the road.

Fort Hays Memorial Gardens began in about 1950 as a private cemetery. It is now owned and maintained by the city of Hays KS, since 1992.

I walked and read this cemetery on Oct 19, 2003. 8 markers do not have names or dates.
