Mount Moriah African American Cemetery

 

This cemetery is located off of Hwy. 6 between Calvert & Hammond. The Cottonwood African American Cemetery is just down the road past the Mount Moriah Cemetery. Both cemeteries are clearly marked with signs on Hwy. 6 (along with the Shilo Primitive Baptist Church). Turn right on County Road 130 when heading north out of Calvert heading towards Hammond. This cemetery will be on your left on the side of the road next to the Mount Moriah Church before you reach the railroad tracks.
