Information

Bluelick Road had at one time been the main road into Henryville and on to Charlestown. Unfortunately, the road was divided with the construction of Interstate 65 in the early 1960s. The older section of the cemetery property is on the west side. It was at one time a part of Mt. Zion Church, but now we have only the reminders of those who helped our town to grow and strive. Please take time to walk among the beautiful stones of both Mt. Zion and St. Francis Cemeteries as they are perfect places for reflection and to pay respect to those who came before us. These are photos of only a few of the stones you will find.

Photo 1 is the main entrance to the newer section of Mt. Zion Cemetery.
