Bloomington Cemetery is an abandoned cemetery located in Section 36 of Franklin Township. Originally the town of Bloomington was southwest of the cemetery. The cemetery is nearly in inaccessible but has been terribly vandalized.

In the early 1990's the Story County Genealogical Society walked all Story County cemeteries and recorded 22 standing monuments. In an effort to reconstruct burials in the cemetery, they added 18 more burials as listed in Allen's History of Story County, Iowa.

Also, in 1971, a local Girl Scout Troop recorded only the names on stones. This was prior to the vandalism. These records added 24 more names to the list of burials without stones.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1999509 (Bloomington Cemetery).
