Tips

Jamie S.

September 3, 2024

From this spot on the Rock Creek Trail you can see the historic Mount Zion Cemetery. This historically significant burial ground is adjacent to the Female Union Band Society Cemetery, which both cover about three and a half acres, and were added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1975. Mount Zion Cemetery, founded in 1808 as The Old Methodist Burial Ground, initially served both White and Black individuals but became predominantly African American after 1849. The Female Union Band Society Cemetery, established in 1842, was created by freed Black women for their community. Together, these cemeteries reflect the rich African American history of Georgetown.
