Bardzo mały cmentarz na obrzeżach miasta, na którym pochowano siedmiu powstańców, poległych podczas Bitwy o Otwock Mały w 1863 roku. Była to bitwa powstańców styczniowych pod dowództwem Ziemiomysła Kuczuka z wojskami rosyjskimi. Wojska nieprzyjaciela straciły 40 żołnierzy. Powstańców zginęło 15, część z nich zostało pochowanych właśnie tutaj. W każdą rocznicę powstania styczniowego idzie procesja i zapalane są tutaj znicze. Na cmentarzu znajdują się również pochówki osób z 1939 roku.


Very small cemetery on the outskirts of the town, where seven insurgents killed during the Battle of Otwock Mały in 1863 are buried.
