Our Mission |
|
It is the intent of the Mt. Olive Cemetery Historical Preservation Society to emphasize the influence and contributions of African-Americans regarding the history, education, development, growth, and culture of the Clarksville, Tennessee area. The incorporators of the Society believe this may best be achieved through education of local youths and an organized collaboration between local government, the Society, and private citizens, each of which holds interest in discovering and preserving existing records, artifacts, and properties that represent the history of achievement and contribution. |
