Description

The lovingly restored homes of many Eutaw citizens now laid to rest at Mesopotamia Cemetery depict the grace of the antebellum South. First referred to as Oak Hill Cemetery, Mesopotamia Cemetery was once established around 1822 on present-day Mesopotamia Street. Eutaw, the seat of Greene County, boasts 50 structures listed at the National Register of Historic Places, with many more eligible for nomination. Greene was once probably the most populous county in Alabama in 1850 and was once widely regarded for its thriving and sublime communities. Greene County and Mesopotamia Cemetery ties the fantastically carved marble tombstones within the Mesopotamia Cemetery to the peculiar individuals who have formed Greene County’s history.
