Old Town Cemetery, also known as Old Taylor Cemetery and Old Haynesville Cemetery,[1] is a cemetery located south of Haynesville, in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, United States.[2][3] The cemetery used to be located near the old town center for Haynesville, however the town center moved 2 miles east with the arrival of new train tracks which left this old town area as a "ghost town".[3]

The cemetery contains some 3,000 burials. Fashion designer Geoffrey Beene (1924–2004) is buried there.
