Old Hebron Cemetery surrounds the vanished site of Hebron Baptist Church, founded in the pioneer era on five acres deeded by William Cleveland in December 1812. The congregation began in the Ocmulgee Circuit of Primitive Baptists before turning Missionary Baptist, and the nearby Hebron Academy was chartered in 1821. Although the church disappeared generations ago, the cemetery still holds many of the county's earliest settlers, including the planter and pastor James Henderson.
