The Old Cemetery in Cynthiana, Kentucky, serves as the only burial ground in the area from 1793 to 1868, encompassing four acres of land deeded to the city by Robert Harrison, the founder of Cynthiana. This historic site is the final resting place for Samuel January, the city's first mayor, along with other prominent early citizens.

Additionally, the cemetery is notable for being the location of Harrison Academy, the first school in Cynthiana, situated on the corner of the property. The city itself was named in honor of Harrison's daughters, Cynthia and Anna, reflecting the personal history intertwined with this significant landmark.
