The Story
Philadelphia Baptist Church Cemetery sits along Philadelphia Road just north of Jasper and ranks among the larger historic burying grounds in Pickens County, with more than nine hundred documented graves. Its older sections hold numerous unmarked and fieldstone plots, a sign of how far back the congregation's interments reach. An early photograph of the site labels it Philadelphia Methodist Church Cemetery, a reminder of the long church history that predates the present Baptist congregation caring for the grounds.
