Brief History of Cemetery
Located on Auraria Road, 6 miles south of Dahlonega, stands a picturesque small white church with a tin roof and a nearby cemetery. Auraria Church of Almighty God was first known as Auraria Methodist Church. The first written records date back to November 5, 1846. The walls were craftily made with tongue and groove wood; the floors had large cracks, and only small lanterns for lights. From 1861 to 1873 it was an independent church with no known residential pastor. In 1873 it became a circuit church with several itinerant pastors. Thanks to many old-timers and lots of hard work, the church still stands. The church's original appearance and many of the old traditions have been preserved as much as possible.
