Mount Olive Church Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in Red Mountain Park, currently under development. The cemetery originally served the former mining village of Redding and contains the remains of miners and their families.
In recent years, Birmingham had been maintaining the cemetery. On September 28, 2009, U. S. Steel and Birmingham announced a land swap that donated an additional 50-60 acres to Red Mountain Park, including the cemetery. This allowed the city to give up responsibility for it.
