Set beside the former Monticello Methodist Episcopal Church, this historic graveyard dates to the congregation's founding in 1809, with the surviving church building raised in 1895. After the congregation moved to a larger site in 1960, the cemetery was left intact and is still tended by the local Methodist church. It holds roughly 170 known burials, among them many founding families of Monticello and Jasper County, with several plots enclosed by ornate Victorian wrought-iron fencing.
