About the Old City Cemetery & Flipper Cemetery:
Residents of Thomasville’s first public burial grounds include Thomasvillians who served in the American Revolution, those who were among the earliest settlers and landowners in the new county in the 1820s, and enslaved Black people. Its original boundaries extended much farther than today.
After the Civil War, the land was split to form Old Magnolia Cemetery, now Flipper Cemetery, and years later, a portion of the original cemetery was given to the American Legion on which their facilities were built. As with many cemeteries of this age, many graves are unmarked or “lost” though some records still remain of who was buried here.
