The Dravo Cemetery, sometimes called the Historic Dravo Cemetery, is a cemetery located in Elizabeth Township along the Youghiogheny River Trail, south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Originally built as a family cemetery by Nathan Newlin in 1812, the cemetery was renamed Dravo Cemetery after being acquired by Reverend Dravo who built the Dravo Methodist Church on the property in 1824. The church burned down twice and the property was eventually abandoned. The cemetery has been maintained by the Elizabeth Township Historical Society since 1986.[1]
