The following information about the Old City Cemetery is posted on a Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation website: "The oldest public burying ground in Tallahassee, Old City Cemetery was laid out by the Territorial Legislature in 1829. This scenic eleven acre site in the heart of downtown reflects the rich history and development of Tallahassee and Florida. Visitors can stroll through this green oasis, and visit the graves of Confederate and Union Civil War casualties, African-American leaders, yellow fever victims, and Florida governors and legislators. An interpretive kiosk at the entrance explains the history of Old City Cemetery, and contains self-guided walking tour brochures."
