About this cemetery
Established in 1852 when the City of Aiken, South Carolina, bought four acres of land, this cemetery was the principal public burial ground for African Americans in the city until the mid-20th century. It now covers nearly 10 acres and includes the graves of slaves, freedmen and Reconstruction-era figures. It is also known as Pine Lawn Memorial Gardens and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
