Old City Cemetery is a historic site in Tallahassee, Florida, the state capital. It was established in 1829 by the Territorial Legislative Council, and was acquired by the city in 1840. Burials for white people were segregated with separate areas and books for "colored" people.
Cast iron fences surround the property. A historical marker commemorates its history.
The Florida Archives have photos of the cemetery. Guided walking tours have been held.
