Cross Creek Cemetery

The oldest public cemetery in Fayetteville, containing more than 1,100 grave markers, is the burial ground for early settlers and locally significant persons in Fayetteville’s history. This cemetery contains graves of Revolutionary War veterans, including the notable Revolutionary War hero Robert Rowan. He was the leading town patriot as well as the organizer and a signer of the “Liberty Point Resolves.” A tall stone monument marks his burial site.
