Old Cemetery: Resting place of a founder

Mooresville, Ind., was founded in 1824 by Samuel Moore, who donated land to help officially establish the town that ultimately took on his namesake.

In 1823, Samuel Moore purchased 20 acres of land atop a hill east of White Lick Creek and about a half-mile north of his trading post.

Samuel Moore is buried in the Old Cemetery in Mooresville with his wife Eliza.

The historic Old Cemetery is located at 28 W. Washington St.
