Bethel African-Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery,
Greencastle, Franklin County, PA

227 South Carlisle Street, Greencastle.

History:

The land for the church and cemetery was purchased in 1867, and the present building erected in 1875. The cemetery sits behind the white church building and is accessed by Hamilton Lane. The size of the lot indicates that there are many more burials here than what are currently marked.
