The location, originally known as "The Old Methodist Cemetery," is located by starting from the southwest corner of the Courthouse Square in Monroeville, Monroe County, Alabama. From the SW corner of the Monroe County Courthouse Square, go west on Claiborne St. (AL 47) 0.2 miles to Sumter St. Turn right (north) on Sumter and the cemetery is on the left of the street with most of the original cyclone fence around it. In later years a more modern iron works fence has been added.

The cemetery is behind the original location of the Methodist Church that was first built in 1835. It was a primitive frame structure that was used for many years. In 1880 the church building was remodeled and a steeple and bell were added. That served the congregation until 1916, at which time the original church was demolished and a more modern brick structure was erected near the northwest corner of the courthouse square.
