Rosemont Cemetery was the original cemetery used for patients of the Rochester State Hospital (originally called the Second Minnesota Hospital for the Insane until 1883). This cemetery was used from 1879 until 1887.

The exact location of this cemetery is unknown. It is believed to be north of the Hospital, on the north side of the railroad tracks. That area is now wooded over. Because wooden markers were used at the time, no markers still exist today.

A plot map of the cemetery does still exist. The cemetery was laid out north-to-south (approximately 110 ft x 50 ft) in 4 rows of 22 burial plots. Men were buried in the two rows on the left/west side (I and II) while women were buried in two rows on the right/east side (III and IV), which is opposite of the layout of the later Rochester State Hospital Cemetery (Women on the left/North side, men on the right/South).

There were 76 burials in this cemetery.

The map location is approximate.
