The Prosperity Cemetery is located on McNeary Street (South Carolina Route 391) on the south side of Prosperity, South Carolina, United States. The cemetery is about 3acres in size, with more than 1,000 marked graves dating back to its founding in 1802. The cemetery is distinctive for the fine quality of its funerary art in what is essentially a rural backcountry setting, and for the unusual concentration of gravestones that were signed by local merchants and stonecutters. The cemetery was established as the burying ground for a Presbyterian congregation, but is now managed by a local cemetery company and now serves as the town's main cemetery.[1]
The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
