Cemeteries

Jenny Wiley was a legendary pioneer woman who was taken captive by Native Americans in 1789. After nine months, she managed to escape and reunited with her husband. Around 1800, the Wiley family settled in what is now Johnson County.

The first courthouse in Kentucky was built on this location in 1783. During the Civil War, it was the site of a Confederate encampment. Today it is one of the oldest cemeteries in Kentucky and contains graves of many Revolutionary soldiers.
