New Saint Hurricane MBC Cemetery
Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Arkansas, USA
New St. Hurricane Missionary Baptist Church cemetery is located behind the church.
New St. Hurricane's rich heritage dates back to 1856 when a few Negro slaves made an indelible and historical mark in time. The original church was named St. Hurricane deriving its name from the Hurricane Plantation. This small wood-frame building was shared with the white plantation owner. The slaveholders and slaves used the church on alternating Sundays. Historical records show that St. Hurricane Church predates the Emancipation Proclamation and continued after the slaves became free. When slavery was abolished, the plantation owner allowed the slaves to take the church building with them. The church building was moved by placing it on logs and pulling it with mules. The journey of only a few miles reportedly took several months to complete.
