Old Pioneer Cemetery
This was the first established Cemetery of Fort Gaines. The earliest death date on a stone marker is 1830. The Tombs of Georgia Militia General John Dill and his family are found in an enclosed lot. Reverend John E. Brown, second President of the University Of Georgia, and his wife are interred in this graveyard. Many early settlers, both black and white, are buried here in unmarked graves.
