Old City Cemetery is one of Tallahassee's most distinctive historic sites. Established in 1829, it is the oldest public cemetery in Tallahassee. Currently located very much in the downtown area, it was actually considered to be well outside the City boundaries when the cemetery was established!
Because it was Tallahassee's only public burial ground, Old City Cemetery represents a cross-section of people living in Tallahassee during the 19th century, including slaves and planters, governors and store clerks, veterans of wars, important historical figures, as well as victims of yellow fever (including entire families) are all buried here.
The cemetery was segregated with the white burials in the eastern half (closest to the current library) and the blacks buried in the western section along present-day Macomb Street. Many of Tallahassee's prominent African Americans are buried here--Thomas Van Ressalaer Gibbs, Reconstruction legislator and educator; William Gunn, one of the first African American physicians in the state of Florida; John G. Riley, noted educator and community leader; James Page, a former slave and founder of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church; and John Proctor, educator and politician during Reconstruction and son of famous builder George Proctor.
The geocache is located near this western part of the cemetery. If you look inside, you will also see that this is where the Union soldiers were buried after the Civil War Battle of Natural Bridge (the Confederate soldiers were buried in the white section).
Again, if you get a chance, I highly recommend taking a look around the cemetery. It seems to be open every day from morning until sundown, except possibly on Sundays (I can't seem to find its official hours of operation on the internet, but I recall wanting to bring someone there once on a Sunday and the gates were closed). The Cemetery can best be accessed from the East-side off Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. There are usually metered street parking spaces available near the gated entrance there.
Some stealth may be required as this part of downtown is very close to FSU campus and many students are seen parking in the metered spaces here along Park Avenue and walking to their sorority/fraternity houses and adjacent apartment buildings.
