Sturgis Cemetery is a historic and largely abandoned burial ground hidden in heavy woods in rural Columbia County, across G.R. Tucker Road from the New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery. Many of its graves are unmarked, and those who have visited describe brick-lined concrete crypts and weathered headstones scattered across a low ridge, slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding forest. Roughly a hundred burials have been documented at the nearly lost site.
