JOHNS CREEK, Ga. â The Johns Creek Historical Society announced this month that it has had 12 headstones and several footstones repaired and reset as part of an ongoing effort to restore the Macedonia African Methodist Church Cemetery.
The work comes with the help of a volunteer effort through Leadership Johns Creek, a local nonprofit that promotes community involvement.
The cemetery, near the intersection of State Bridge and Medlock Bridge roads, is known to be the burial place of at least two who were enslaved and others who were first and second generation descendants of slaves on local farms. The cemetery, abandoned for years, has garnered attention in recent years from the city and the Historic Society.
