From Communities and Legacies: Maury County's African American History, A Driving Tour
In 1872, African American members of the Zion Presbyterian Church requested letters of dismissal in order to form their own church, Salem Presbyterian. Initially established in the Zion Community, former members of the congregation organized the Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church some years later. Salem Presbyterian Church burned in 1940 and its members joined with the Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church located on Mooresville Pike.
The historic cemetery associated with Salem Presbyterian is located at 6947 Old Zion Rd, Columbia.
.
On the south side of Old Zion Road from the intersection with Zion Road. There is a grassy ramp to use so as to not disturb the people next door.
There are some fieldstones and many depressions showing where unmarked graves are.
