New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery

ADDRESS: New Hope Road, Cascade Heights community of Atlanta, Fulton Co., Georgia.

DIRECTIONS: From I-75 at I-285 north of Atlanta, go West on I-285 to the Cascade Road exit. Turn right, onto Cascade Road, heading west.  After you enter the residential area, an old stone church building with stained glass windows will be on the left (at 4650 Cascade Road SW).  Next to the church is New Hope Road. The cemetery is on the right on New Hope Road, and is visible from the church building.

The cemetery was read starting at the southwest corner (farthest from the church), and in reading the stones, I was facing west and going from left to right.

NOTE: The old stone church building with stained glass windows was the home of New Hope Baptist Church (at least throughout the 1950's and 1960's). It is currently unknown if the church dissolved or simply relocated. The building is currently occupied by another church  (Turner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church). I know for a fact that the majority of the cemetery occupants are Caucasian. In the mid-1960's this area was strictly country, with fields and woods, and the few houses were far apart. The area is now highly congested with commercial on the I285 end, and heavy residential on the Fulton Industrial Blvd end of Cascade Road.

This area was part of old Campbell County, prior to it's being merged with Fulton County in 1932. My aunt, who is buried in this cemetery, was born in the house she died in, just down the road from the church, and she was a member of New Hope church. The cemetery has been fenced in since her death, and it is well-maintained.
