Thomson Memorial Cemetery, established in 1853, is a historic burial ground in Thomson, Georgia, originally associated with the First United Methodist Church. The cemetery features over 1,000 marked and unmarked graves, with the earliest dating back to 1855, reflecting the 19th-century Rural Cemetery Movement that aimed to create park-like settings for burial sites.

Notable for its iron fence, which replaced a wire one in 1932, Thomson Memorial Cemetery also includes a Confederate grave marker designed after the Southern Cross of Honor medals. This cemetery serves as a serene space for reflection and remembrance, embodying the evolution of burial practices into memorial gardens in the 20th century.
