Fayette County, Alabama
~ Old Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church Cemetery ~
Location:
Off Old Gin Road (on the north side) about halfway between Hwy 107 and
where Ballenger Road and Bynum Road intersect. There is a cable
stretched across the road that is looped over a pole. The
original Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church (established in 1842) was at this
location. The church moved to another location for a short period
of time before being moved to its current location on Mt. Lebanon Road (S15-T15S-R13W)
