This cemetery is just below the fork in the road going to Delacroix Island and Yscloskey, La. It was damaged in hurricane Katrina when the Reggio Baptist Church was destroyed. Again in Hurricane Isaac.
April 6, 2013 there are plans for volunteers to clean up the cemetery, as it stands now, it is a forgotten cemetery.





The cemetery is right by where Florissant Hwy meets Bayou Road in Reggio. It was established by the Reggio Baptist Church that once stood nearby. The church made the cemetery open to all area residents to bury their loved ones for free. The majority of those buried here are young which led to its nickname of Babyland. In Hurricane Katrina, the church was destroyed- lifted off its foundation and pushed onto the street. A giant tree fell over in the cemetery, sheltering most of the graves through the storm. Today, with no associated church, it does fall into disrepair. As of 2020, local fishermen clear-cut the cemetery and take care of the graves.
