Mount Olive Cemetery
Buckhead, Fulton County, Georgia, USA
431 Pharr Road. Adjacent to Bagley Park.
Former site of Mt. Olive AME church in the 1920s.
The neighborhood was formerly known as "Macedonia Park"
The Mount Olive Methodist Episcopal Cemetery is all that remains of the original Macedonia Park community settled by freed slaves after the Civil War. The cemetery is located on a slight elevation just east of the main entrance at the north end of the park partially obscured by an overgrown hedge of privet, ligustrum and other evergreen shrubs. The canopy vegetation consists of several large oak trees with an understory of dogwoods. There is no signage or fence to prevent intrusion or deter vandalism. Approximately 45 graves were flagged in a recent archaeological survey. Most of the headstones and gravestones are in disrepair although a few are legible.
