Old Methodist Cemetery, the first Methodist Church in Elkton, is located on High Street.
It is now the A.M.E. Church. The congregation moved to a new church, the Elkton Methodist Church,
sometime in the 1870's or 1880's. When the new Methodist Church opened it was known as the Elkton
M.E. (Methodist Episcopal) Church.

The cemetery has become unruly, with broken tombstones, gravemarkers, etc.
