Sharon Baptist Church Cemetery lies in the rural Winfield community of western Columbia County, in the countryside between Appling and Thomson. The congregation it serves dates its founding to 1799, making this one of the older church burial grounds in the region, and generations of local families rest among its several hundred marked graves. A separate, older burying ground sits just across the road from the churchyard.
