We are pleased to announce that Orion Baptist Church Cemetery has been added to the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register! The Alabama Historical Commission considers historic cemeteries particularly worthy of preservation and appreciation. The Alabama Historic Cemetery Register is a prestigious listing of historic cemeteries in Alabama.
There are currently 31 cemeteries in Pike County listed on the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register.
Orion was settled about 1810, about 9 years before Alabama became a state. By 1830, wealthy planters began arriving, and Orion was a booming town.
The Orion Baptist Church was organized in 1828, and the first known burial was Sophronia P. Anderson in 1834.

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER!!

The Beulah Cemetery Foundation has planned a clean-up day at Beulah Cemetery this Saturday, March 15, at 9:00. David Dewberry has done an amazing job repairing and cleaning the markers. There are limbs and other debris that need to be removed. We will also be raking leaves to spruce up the landscape. I hope you can help us this Saturday.

The January meeting of the Pike County Historical, Genealogical & Preservation Society will be Sunday, January 22 at 2:00 at the Pioneer Museum of Alabama. Courtney Pinkard, reference coordinator for the Alabama Department of Archives and History will present our program on the Sanborn Maps. The Sanborn Maps were originally created to allow fire insurance companies to assess their total liability in urbanized areas of the United States. Because these maps contained detailed information about properties, they have become valuable research tools.
Don't miss this exciting program. All of our programs are open to the public.
