The St Peter Baptist Church is an African-American church and cemetery in the community of Franklin. The church is located near the Franklin water tower on Tin Cup Alley Road and is about 100 yards east at the rear of the church. In the near vicinity is the Springhill First Baptist Church and cemetery, as well as the River Ridge Cemetery on River Ridge Road. The grounds around the church are well maintained and there is ample parking at both the church and the cemetery. The cemetery lies on a hillside beneath a stand of giant red oak trees and brushy forest at all sides except the west entrance, which has a large clearing for vehicle parking.



To reach the cemetery, begin your drive from the city of Monroeville at the old courthouse square. At the NW corner of the square take Hwy-41 north and drive about 18 miles to the community of Franklin. Drive with caution as the road is curvy and expect to drive along a ridge of steep grades. At the Springhill Church, Tin Cup Alley will veer off to the right (a hard clay road). Turn onto Tin Cup Alley and drive another ½ mile. The church will be on the right and one can see the cemetery in the distance on a slope along the ridge. If you continue on Tin Cup Alley you will pass a Franklin water tower and in a short distance the River Ridge Road and the River Ridge Cemetery.
