About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The African American Cemetery is located at Charles Towne Landing. It dates from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.

In 1974, research on the cemetery was published by John Combs from the SC Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology. This paper is recognized as the first academic study of African American burial practices and cemeteries in the US. The cemetery continues to be a research focus for the park.
