Chickasawhatchee Methodist Church Cemetery

02/23/2020

Thank you for your continued interest in the Chickasawhatchee Methodist Church and Baptist Church Cemeteries located where the historic village of Chickasawhatchee once stood. We had a setback when hurricane Michael reeked havoc on the Methodist Church Cemetery. Thirteen large trees were uprooted or broken. Damaging several gravesites. In October of 2019 we were able to have the trees cut into smaller pieces and removed to a location outside of the Cemetery. If weather permits I hope to have another cleanup day in early spring. More information will be posted later. If you are interested in helping please let me know. Thanks.

It has been a while since I have posted status of the Cemetery cleanup. We have had several cleanup days in 2017. Thanks to many volunteers we have got a lot done. Still have more to do but see light at the end of the tunnel. Planning other cleanup days in the spring.

Cleanup of the historic Chickasawhatchee Cemeteries will resume on Sat. April 22. If you would like to help, volunteers will begin gathering about 8:30-9:00 but if that does not work for you, come when you can and work as long as you like. We will concentrate on clearing bushes and underbrush. Bring tools of your choice: Chain Saw, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, rake, clippers, shovel, w**d eater, etc. Wear old clothes and shoes. Cemeteries are located on the Sasser/Herod Highway, 2 1/2 miles from Sasser on the left. Watch for signs. Come out and help preserve history. Send me an email if you have questions. Cherry
