Campground Church and Cemetery Site

Anna, Union County

The Campground Church and Cemetery Site was used by members of the local Presbyterian church for religious camp meetings and the burial of the deceased children of at least one member of the congregation. Oral histories collected in the 1930s indicate that local settlers allowed the Cherokee to camp at this location and bury their dead in a grave site next to the deceased children of congregation member George Hileman. Two springs that the Cherokee used to obtain water for themselves and animals are located in a wooded area south of the church.
