This cemetery was originally part of Buffalo Presbyterian Church located adjacent to this cemetery. It was used by slaves and African Americans in the county. Over the years it fell into disrepair and neglect, covered over by undergrowth and overgrown trees.
A community action group is bringing the cemetery back to life. They petitioned to rename the cemetery used by slaves and African Americans "The Black Heritage Community Cemetery"
The entrance to the cemetery is just past Buffalo Presbyterian church driveway, on the same side of the road as the church. Part of the entrance is paved, but most is not at the present time. If you are not careful you will miss the small entrance area.
Many of the graves are sunken in and unmarked, but many are marked and very legible.
Please be careful as there are sunken graves,many holes and undergrowth along with poison ivy and wild animals.
