Church building at the Mount Zion Baptist Church Cemetery

Mt. Zion Cemetery is located in Cass County, Texas between the cities of Linden and Jefferson. From US Highway 59, take FM Road 2683, then turn right onto County Road 1771 which dead ends at the church and cemetery.

This is a Texas Historical Landmark which was recorded in 1991. The following is from the historical marker located at the front of the church:

Mount Zion
Baptist Church of Christ
The Mount Zion Baptist Church of Christ was organized in 1851 with twelve charter members. This sanctuary, built in 1885 on land donated by Isaac and Felix Grundy Lemmon, replaced the original 1851 log church building. Constructed of cypress and featuring a steeply pitched roof and double entry doors, this structure reflects a simple style typical of 19th century rural Texas churches. A historic cemetery dating to 1864 is adjacent to the building.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1991
