Old Methodist, Mount Zion, and Female Union Band Historic Cemeteries
Mount Zion Cemetery
The Old Methodist Burying Ground, today’s Mount Zion Cemetery, and the Female Union Band Society Cemetery are among the oldest Black ancestry surviving cemeteries in Washington, DC. They are a physical reminder of the heritage, contributions, and sacrifices made by enslaved Africans, their enslaved descendants, and born to freedom Black people during their lifetimes. They also provide insight into their families and the community in which they lived during a time of deep segregation. The burial grounds are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are a UNESCO-designated Slave Route Project site of memory. Together, they are the only two cemeteries remaining in the District which were specifically maintained for the burial of enslaved and former enslaved persons. They are among the few Black history landmarks remaining in Georgetown, a community whose population during the late 19th century was between 35 and 45 percent persons of African ancestry. The associated Mount Zion United Methodist Church, at 1334 29th St NW, remains in operation with only a handful of its member families living in Georgetown.
