Corhaven Graveyard is located on an antebellum plantation along Holman’s Creek in Quicksburg. This plot of land, hidden deep in the woods, served as a burial ground for enslaved African Americans from the surrounding areas. The property was settled on by Danial Holman and was owned by other slaveholders throughout the 1800s. There are a few identified individuals who have been named through their association with their enslaver. It is presumed the small place was used as a Hush Harbor, a secret and secluded gathering area for those who were enslaved to meet for religious practices because it was prohibited to congregate without the supervision of white people. Today, Corhaven Graveyard is in the Coracle ministry, and the organization has initiated a project to construct the Peace Pavilion to resemble a Hush Harbor.
