The Oldest Public Cemetery in Indiana is Older Than the State Itself
This cemetery is over 230 years old, older than the Hoosier State!. Over the past few months, I've been on a journey to highlight some of the oldest places around Indiana. A few places highlighted previously have some seriously interesting history, like Indiana's oldest store which was founded the same year Abraham Lincoln was elected President, and it's STILL open to this day!

And of course, we can't forget Indiana's oldest city, which is even older than the United States of America.
