On December 23, 1896, a tract of 1-1/2 acres of land were deeded to the United Baptist Church at Mt. Pisgah by J. F. Holder and his wife E. A. Holder for use as a burial ground. However, this land was used as a cemetery long before 1896 and was used until about 1912.

Going north about six miles from Milan on Hwy. 45, turn right onto Reynolds Road. The cemetery is located on a hill on the left side of the road about 100 yds. from the highway.

In June 2010, only stones dated after about 1870 remain. Several white crosses have been placed in the cemetery by old sandstone markers and/or where broken and illegible stones were found, but it appears even more people are likely buried in this cemetery. All legible stones were photographed in June 2010.

For several years the cemetery was surrounded by a chain-linked fence. In the spring of 2017, a major storm with very strong winds blew down a dozen or more trees that in turn destroyed the fence causing the necessity of having it removed.

The cemetery is maintained by area volunteers and the property is still owned by Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church.
