The cemetery is right out of Wickliffe off of Hwy. 121 and on the same road as the Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery
but only about 1/2 mile down on the right hand side of the road.

The Fort Jefferson Hill Cemetery was bought November 21, 1921 from Lizzie Darden by the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
In May 1967, the Ballard County Fiscal Court voted to purchase two acres of land from Kenneth Lee for the removal of all the bodies interred in the black cemetery on Fort Jefferson Hill. August 1, 1968, the land was deeded to the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. The trustees of the cemetery were Ollie Bell, Dorris Dalton, Homer Ross, Edgar Jones, and Clarence Dalton.
The relocation of the cemetery to the new area was brought about by the expansion of Hwy 51 and the construction of Westvaco Paper Company.
