Mount Enon Church Cemetery lies along the old stagecoach road between Baconton and Sale City, with a documented period of historical significance reaching from the mid-1800s through the close of the nineteenth century. Though it took shape more than a century and a half ago, the grounds remain in use today. A gazebo on the site records the names of descendants who placed memorial iron rails in honor of their ancestors, a testament to the families who have long tended the cemetery.
