Established in 1799, Franklinton Cemetery is believed to be the oldest burying ground in Central Ohio. The cemetery was known as being a beautiful graveyard nestled in a locust grove with a board fence. The cemetery also marks the location of the first church in Central Ohio, built in 1811, but it has been gone for quite sometime. By the 1870s, most of those buried in Franklinton Cemetery had been moved to Green Lawn Cemetery. At least 114 burials remaining at the cemetery, many unmarked.
