The Elizabethtown City Cemetery was established in 1807 and contains approximately 20 acres. The cemetery was originally associated with Severn's Valley Baptist Church, however it was acquired by the City of Elizabethtown in 1866. The original design was by Benjamin Groves. It was entered into the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1997. This cemetery contains an Indian Medcine Wheel and has been the site of a Civil War Battle.
There are many notable city founders buried here to include Samuel Haycraft, Sr. (1749-1823) and wife Margaret Haycraft (1760-1843) and Jacob VanMeter (1723-1798) and his wife Letitia (1725-1799). These are some of the oldest intact markers in the cemetery. The Cemetery's entrance features a stone identification wall, a monument containing a bicentennial time capsule, and three Kentucky historical markers.
Today the cemetery is one of the only reminders of early Elizabethtown and Hardin County, and, its monuments are the only reminders of significant residents and their contributions to the settlement and early development of Elizabethtown and Hardin County.
