Zion Cemetery is the former cemetery of the Zion Lutheran congregation, which organized in 1890 and received the church and cemetery land in 1892. During World War II the Navy took the land for the Naval Ammunition Depot west of Clay Center, and the congregation moved its church into town.
The cemetery is now on federal land inside the US Meat Animal Research Center, and visitors should call the center at (402) 762-4100 to arrange access.
