Shiloh, an African American cemetery, is located west of Ashland on Hanover Avenue. The land, which was purchased from Elizabeth Hogg in 1874, was also the site of the first church building.

In the late 1870s some members of Shiloh decided on relocating the church and in 1878 dedicated a new church building at its present location (106 S. James St). Some members branched off and formed Union Baptist Church, also in Ashland.

For many years Shiloh and Union members shared the cemetery. In fact, many non-members were also allowed to purchase gravesites. However, limited space has forced an end to this practice, and the cemetery is now reserved for Shiloh members only.
