Walk among the Georgians who came before.
This burial ground sits beside Waterloo Missionary Baptist Church in rural Irwin County and is actually made up of two adjoining plots that longtime caretakers came to distinguish as the "old" and "new" cemeteries. Before the present sanctuary was raised in 1935, the congregation gathered for services in a rented former Legion Hall on the property. The graves span both sections and trace several generations of the farming families around the Waterloo community.
