According to the deed of this historic black church, a group of deacons purchased the land for Darian Church, graveyard, and academy in 1859--years before the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves of Alabama. The congregation still meets on this land today, though Darian School closed in 1962. The original church has been replaced with a modern building, and the cemetery is in use. Many of the oldest headstones are uncarved, but the cemetery is well-cared for and loved.
