About this cemetery
Wesleyan Cemetery was founded in 1843 by the Methodist Church after its old burial ground behind Wesley Chapel became full. The church bought about 25 acres on Colerain Avenue beside Mill Creek, and the cemetery is run by an Ohio nonprofit corporation affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was the first cemetery in Cincinnati to keep records of its burials and grounds, and is described as Hamilton County's first racially integrated cemetery.
