Old Campground Cemetery
Located just past the old Dover’s Market off Cabarrus Ave, Concord
The Old Campground
Cemetery Restoration Committee formed in June of 2000.
is in the process of trying to get this cemetery cleaned up and refurbished......Can
you help?
Do you have some time to offer?
Or maybe a $1.00 a month?
The Adopt-A-Plot program or the Save-A-Grave program could
use your help. Contact the Old Camp Ground Restoration Committee
PO Box 1176
Concord, NC 28026
There's
a lot of history here that needs to be saved.
There are roughly 500 graves in the Old Campground Cemetery, but only 268 are
marked.
The original deed to the cemetery included 17 acres purchased in 1876 for $532
by what is now
Zion Hill AME Zion Church of Concord.
First African American burial ground in Cabarrus County. Efforts are being
made to obtain a historical marker for this old cemetery.
Thanks to T McManaway with help from Brandy Hartsell for this reading.
