Crowley’s Ridge State Park Sign

“This was the first cemetery on Crowley’s Ridge.

It was founded by the Methodist Episcopal South Church led by missionary Reverend Isaac Brookfield and Benjamin Crowley.

After the church burned, the cemetery was neglected and markers were lost.

The Civilian Conservation Corps, between 1933 and 1937, laid out this cemetery and surveyed the county’s oldest residents to recreate the list of settlers buried here.” Click Here to View Sign
