The Story
Established around 1859, the Bostwick cemetery is the oldest historic resource in the Morgan County town of Bostwick, a rural community that grew up around cotton cultivation and processing. It is counted among the contributing sites of the Bostwick Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for its well-preserved collection of buildings tied to the region's agricultural and cotton-ginning history. The burial ground predates most of the surrounding town, whose commercial development came later in the nineteenth century.
