Located in the northwest part of Savannah Township, on the east side of Hadden Road, about 100 yards south of Ferris Road. A note in the Report of Town of Savannah Historian - 1981 states, "Mr. O'Connell Ferris tells me that this Cemetery was incorporated with New York State as Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery."

The sign in front of this cemetery reads: PILGRIMS REST.

Joseph Ferris on June 29, 1863, donated this one-half acre of land in Savannah, New York to be used for a cemetery plot.
