African American Cemetery. From the intersection of TN-54 S/TN-88 W & US-412, northwest of Alamo, travel northwest on TN-54 S/TN-88 W for 2.1 mi.; turning north onto Jordan Rd., going 0.5 mi.; turning northwest onto Birmingham Rd., going 0.7 mi.; turning north onto going Nunn Cemetery Rd., going 0.5 mi. to the end of the road, then follow a private farm road about 1000' north, across a cultivated field to a large clump of trees, that contains this old cemetery, with only one young child's monument & many unmarked graves.


This is an abandoned African American cemetery, located in a wooded area about 3 miles northwest of Highway 88 by way of Henry Johnson, Birmingham & Nunn Cemetery Roads. It is due north across a wide cotton field from the larger white Nunn Cemetery. This cemetery began as a slave burial ground. Many graves are here, some marked with cedar trees, but there is only one tombstone remaining.
