History
This inactive cemetery was established circa 1844. The church congregation was organized in 1844 as the First Welsh Congregational Church of Delafied.
The first church, a log structure, was built in 1845 on what is now part of the cemetery. In 1866 a new frame church was built on Hwy G. That church was destroyed by fire in 1980. The church was also called Tabernacle Congregational Church. In 1920, the congregation affiliated with the Waukesha Presbytery of the Calvinistic Methodist Church. It then became known as the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. In 1943 it joined the Kettle Moraine Parish, which was a group of small churches which had band together. The congregation was dissolved in 1947, but a caretaker still maintains the cemetery grounds.

The church records are available 1866-1946 from the Presbyterian Historical Society, 425 Lombard Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147.
At the Waukesha Museum are transcriptions of the tombstones 1846-1936.
