I have a bunch of family buried here.....
Cave Springs Memorial Church Cemetery also known as
Mt. Zion Presbyterian Church
SiteCounty registration date: Nov. 2, 1981
The Mt. Zion Presbyterian Church, now Cave Springs Community Church and Cemetery, has important connections to the early history of Greene County. Built in 1867, the building marks the site of an earlier log chapel and still earlier brush arbor, where one of the earliest churches in Greene County was organized in October of 1839. The present large two-story white frame structure with a bell tower had long served as a church, a school, and a community meeting place. It is the oldest Presbyterian Church west of the Mississippi.
See that mess of foliage and the surrounding stones? That's where most of them are buried.
