Notes
  • See also HABS DC-242 for documentation of Mount Zion United Methodist Church. Includes photographs and written data.
  • Significance: The Mount Zion Cemetery/ Female Union Band Cemetery is one of the oldest remaining African American cemeteries in Georgetown and greater Washington, D.C. The Joint Committee on Landmarks designated the cemetery a Category II Landmark of importance that contributes to the cultural and visual beauty of the District. It was officially listed in the Register on August 6, 1975 in the areas of Archeology-Historic and Social/Humanitarian with a 1809-1950 period of significance. The cemetery is located within the Georgetown Historic District, but its historical significance is sufficiently different to merit individual registration. The cemetery's historical importance dates to both the pre and post-Civil War eras, and includes a possible connection with the Underground Railroad. Moreover, Mount Zion Cemetery/ Female Union Band Cemetery is a physical reminder of the city’s significant black culture. This aspect of the site’s significance is also revealed through its strong association with local African American religious activism and the cooperative role of benevolent societies, both of which remain in place today through the Mount

Zion United Methodist Church and the trustees of the Female Union Band Society.
