The Mahoning Avenue Pioneer Cemetery is located in Warren Ohio and is believed to be one of the oldest designated cemeteries in the area dating back to the early 1800's.

Mahoning Avenue Pioneer Cemetery is one of the few places in Warren that looks just the same today as it would’ve two hundred years ago.

Lane Jr. donated the use of this tract to the then-budding village for use as a public burial ground––the first in the city.
