It is an Abandoned Cemetery [ NO cemetery should ever be abandoned while there are still people buried there ]. This is an African-American Cemetery per information obtained from census records of names on tombstones. It is very much overgrown with a lot of tombstones being over turned. And like always, Many, many unmarked graves (so sad).

It is located west of Old Madison Road, up on the hill. It extends on past the church house. I understand at one time there was a small road that went up to it, but that disappeared years ago.

I do not know how many graves are there, but I would guess about 500 - 1,000.
