Prairie Grove church originally stood about five miles Northwest of Brooksville, near the Lowndes county line, and about two miles
directly south of Crawford. It was very near the old Wilkins cemetery, and the old well used by the church is still visible in a grass patch in the cotton field just East of the cemetery.

Only a handful of grave markers are evident today, but due to the age of the cemetery (dating back to 1840s), many gravesites are visible as depressions in the ground. The latest active burial seems to have been in 1963.

This cemetery is often confused with the "Prairie Grove Church Cemetery" which is Northeast of Crawford off of Hardy-Billups Road. That cemetery is still active.

There is also a cemetery about a half mile South of Prairie Grove Cemetery on Marion Moore Road, behind an active church, with no posted name.
