Wesleyan is the final resting place for: veterans who had served in wars dating back to the Revolution, the first Cincinnatian appointed as Physician/Surgeon General, two documented abolitionists, and black Civil War veterans who courageously served as Union soldiers fighting for freedom from slavery. Join us as we trace these and other Little Known Big Stories of those buried here and how they shaped our history. No pets please. Parking available on Colerain Avenue.
