Indian Run Cemetery
Washington Township,
Franklin County, Ohio

Gravestone Photographs

Indian Run Cemetery was established in 1813 by some of Franklin County's early pioneers.  Though the area of the original cemetery covers close to a full acre of land there are comparatively few unbroken, readable gravestones left.  The Dublin Historical Society restored the cemetery between 1975 and 1980 and erected a memorial stone with a list of many known to be buried there.  Some of the gravestones that had been broken off have been cemented into the wall surrounding the cemetery.  The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is beautifully maintained by the Village of Dublin.  Some remains have reportedly been moved to Dublin Cemetery.
