The Elmwood Estate is approximately two miles south of Shepherdstown. Follow the Shepherdstown Pike and bear right onto Flowing Springs Road. The gravel drive is the first right and has an Elmwood sign (Sept 2014).

Do not confuse this family burial ground with the large Elmwood Cemetery in the city of Shepherdstown.

This small cemetery is immediately behind the two-story brick home which has been occupied since it was built by Edward Lucas III in 1797. It is somewhat overgrown and has no fence.
