Founded in 1843 on land owned by the Western Baptist Theological Institute, Linden Grove Cemetery has been the final resting place of American veterans since the War of 1812. In 1997, the GAR and veteran's monuments were placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 2001, the cemetery was added. Those buried here include Thomas Kennedy, original land owner of Covington; B. F. Howard, founder IBPOEW; and U.S. Congressmen John W. Menzies, William E. Arthur, William W. Southgate, and John G. Carlisle. Carlisle also served as Lt. Gov. of Ky., U.S. Senator, U.S. Speaker of the House, and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.
