Brief History of Cemetery
At the time of this survey not much is known of the history of this cemetery, Hickory Grove C.M.E. Church is one of the oldest black churches in the county, but the cemetery contains burials that predate the starting date of this church by many years. This cemetery contains the remains of some of the most prominent early citizens of Lumpkin County. It was at one time a very well maintained cemetery, but at the time of this photographic survey, it was badly overgrown and greatly in need of attention, with many gravemarkers in desperate need of repair. Photographed on July 17th and 19th 2006.
