Woodlawn Cemetery was designed by Carbondale founder Daniel Brush in 1853. The cemetery is approximately 2.5 acres with 217 plots and over 400 gravesites. Woodlawn is the final resting place of many Union and Confederate soldiers, as well as prominent townspeople of the mid-to-late 1800s. The last burial at Woodlawn Cemetery was in 1954.

In 1976, the City of Carbondale initiated several physical improvements to Woodlawn Cemetery in recognition of its historical importance. On December 9, 1985, the cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Carbondale Historic Landmark on March 8, 1994. In 2001, the City of Carbondale made additional improvements, which include an interpretive sign and an Illinois State Historical Society marker.
