This cemetery is tied to Bean Creek, one of the historically African American communities that took root in the Sautee-Nacoochee valley in the decades after emancipation. Many of its roughly 180 recorded burials are marked only by rough fieldstones or by weathered funeral-home plates, reflecting the community's modest means. It stands today as an important record of Black settlement in the north Georgia mountains.
