Tucked off Highway 20 along Harper Road, this small Henry County cemetery is old but still in use, with some of its burials dating back to the 1830s. Many of the earliest graves are marked only with plain fieldstones, though newer headstones have since been added to a number of them. The setting reflects the character of a long-established rural family burial ground.
