This cemetery is on the west side of the old Patterson homeplace. Capt Andrew McDonald Patterson was a Capt in the famous Fifth Alabama Cavalry and was one of the founders of Falkville. He was the son of Malcolm Patterson, the first Patterson to come into Morgan County about 1817. His half-brother was Col. Josiah Patterson, who was perhaps the most noted native son of Morgan County who served the Confederacy.

The Patterson house was built of thick, oak logs and stands two stories high, with hand-planed lumber on the interior walls and the chinked logs visible on the upper floor. The outside was later covered with plank siding. The house is now is a run-down condition and has not been livable for many years.

Directions: Take Hwy 31 south to Falkville. Turn left on Co Rd 55, go across railroad tracks and several blocks to Patton Street. Turn right and go to E. Main St. Zig zag onto Piney Grove Street. Go past the Falkville City Cemetery and park your car on the south end of the cemetery. You will have to walk about 1/4 mile. You have to go through the locked gate south of the city cemetery and follow an old driveway about 1/4 mile to the Patterson house. The cemetery is on the west side of the house.

This property has a NO TRESPASSING sign.
