Rest Haven Cemetery – Edinburgh – Johnson County – United States

Rest Haven Cemetery is located in Cuba, near Edinburgh, in Johnson County, Indiana. Historical references place the cemetery in the Blue River Township area by 1852, making it part of the region’s early nineteenth-century settlement landscape. Research on the cemetery connects its history with the movement of free Black residents into Johnson County during the 1860s and the growth of the African American community near Edinburgh. The cemetery appears on county and federal geographic records at approximately 39.3467° N, 85.9739° W, south of Edinburgh. Burial references in local obituaries document interments there from at least the early twentieth century onward. Genealogical indexes and cemetery-record projects may assist visitors researching individual graves, but current maintenance, access, and burial policies should be confirmed locally.
