Founded in the 1870s as a communal resting place for African Americans within the Berkeley County Community, Mt. Hope Cemetery has stood as a historic location alongside Green Hill Historic African American Cemetery.

A historic location and home to many notable individuals, we invite families of the community to join us in honoring our ancestors by preserving, upkeeping, and enhancing the regular maintenance needed to keep the cemetery beautifully landscaped and a true blessing to the neighborhood.

Your contributions, whether in the form of time through volunteering to clean up litter and leaves or financial support, helps to maintain this sacred space.

Additionally, if you possess old photos, stories, or historical information about our past ancestors at Mt. Hope, we encourage you to share them with us so that we might document and celebrate our rich heritage together.
