Add PhotosOld Cemetery Discovered at Future Red Mountain Park in Birmingham
Park employees and community groups have been cleaning up the grounds preparing to survey the grounds. The goal is to identify as many burial sites, even those without tombstones, as possible and honor the memory of the workers who mined the ore on nearby Red Mountain.
The most recent burial, based on existing tombstones, was in the 1940's.
If you can help unlock the mysteries at the burial site, you reach Red Mountain Park authorities at (205) 254-1909
The long abandoned Mt. Olive cemetery, located between Sydney Drive and Venice Road in Birmingham," is now part of the future Red Mountain Park. Park management hopes to preserve the final resting place and tell the story of those buried there--many of them African-American miners.
