Mt. Calvary A.M.E. Church was erected in 1852. Reverend Henry Jones, being a leader in the work of the Church for several years, donated the land on which the meeting house was erected. Mount Calvary later relocated from Lower Oxford Township to East Market Street where the cornerstone was laid on August 8, 1884. The church was renamed to Allen A.M.E and was dedicated on May 5, 1886 in honor of Richard Allen, founder of the A.M.E. Church.



The only evidence of the old Mount Calvary today is this cemetery.
