Originally known as the Alexander Graveyard, this cemetery dates to at least the 1830's, but may be older. The church in front of the cemetery, Ward's Grove Baptist Church, was constructed in 1912, eventually lending its name to the graveyard. The beautiful stone wall surrounding the cemetery was built in the late 20th century. Still used by the local community, Ward's Grove is the resting place for several Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War soldiers. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
