This fascinating cemetery is located in the McIntosh Reserve Park, a property associated with Chief William McIntosh and maintained as public land by Carroll County.

The Bowen family were pioneers in this area and likely had some association with Chief McIntosh.

The earliest discernible burial in the cemetery dates to 1830.

Though many names have been lost over time, this cemetery is important not only for its historical connection to early settlers but for its limestone slab [or other local stone?] tombs, which are quite rare today.

It’s a well-preserved example of a family burying ground utilizing materials on hand and offers a fascinating glimpse into the funerary practices of early-19th century rural Georgia
