This rural graveyard grew up around Damascus Baptist Church on Damascus Road, in the northeastern corner of Banks County near the Habersham line. The congregation's meeting house no longer stands, having been demolished, so the cemetery is now the last physical trace of the old church site. With more than 700 documented burials, it ranks among the larger historic cemeteries in the Baldwin area.
