Located on Neahtawanta Road just west of Kroupa Road. To reach the cemetery, follow M-37 on the East Arm, north toward Old Mission Park, turn left (west) onto Bowers Harbor Road, which will change names to Neahtawanta Road. The cemetery will be on your right up a small hill.

Currently there are no lots for sale in Bohemian Cemetery, however, the Clerk maintains a waiting list if a current deed holder wishes to sell their lot. For Cemetery information contact the Peninsula Township Clerk. There is still an occasional burial here. On some maps this is called the Bowers Harbor Cemetery.

This is a complete listing as of August 2007. Information is from all existing and legible tombstones when I visited the cemetery.
