About this cemetery
Behavior Cemetery is a historic African American burial ground on the south end of Sapelo Island, Georgia, about 1.25 miles west of Hog Hammock. Used by Gullah-Geechee communities for over 120 years, it is described as established in the early 1800s. It now serves the descendants of the earliest Black families of the island and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
