New Hope Church
African-American

 

From the intersection of Hwy. 17 south and Hwy. 82 west, travel four miles west on Hwy. 82, turn right on Emanuel Church Road, and two tenths of a mile on your right is the cemetery.

A small, well cared for cemetery. The original church that was built after the Civil War for the African-American people in this vicinity, is still standing.


All but two of the graves were in a straight line running east to west.  The last two graves were just above this line, due to a large bush that is growing there.
