Established in 1864, the Union Baptist Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Hamilton County, Ohio at its original location purchased, maintained, and still used by a black congregation. The Union Baptist Church was organized in 1831 as the Colored Branch of Enon Baptist Church when fourteen black members of predominantly white Enon Baptist congregation withdrew and formed their own congregation. Many former slaves, anti-slavery advocates, and active members of the Underground Railroad are interred here and there are Civil War Medal of Honor Recipients buried here.
