Lincoln Cemetery was founded in November 1877 by the Wesley Union African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (A.M.E. Zion Church), [1] and is located at 201 South 30th Street in the Susquehanna Township area of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The oldest extant Black cemetery in Harrisburg, Lincoln contains many people re-interred from the approximately five original African-American Burial Grounds in the city of Harrisburg.

Members of the Wesley Union church, spread out through the Harrisburg Area, were active in the Underground Railroad.

[1][4] It is the site of one of the historical markers in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

[5] In July 2021, members of the descendant community of Lincoln Cemetery began clean-up, restoration and reclamation of the grounds.
