Add PhotosDirections: Across from main entrance to Bald Eagle State Park on Route 150 North, Schenck's Grove Road to left. After making the turn off Route 150 on to Schencks Grove Road, parking is available on the right. On the left side of the road is a trailhead, the remnants of an old dirt road, that leads to the cemetery. About a one-half mile walk up the dirt road, through the trees to an open field. Please walk on edges of fields only - do not cut across. Wear orange during hunting season as this section of the park is open to hunting.
This graveyard contains 5 marked graves, all of veterans, and about 23 other visible graves marked only with field stones. There are no Pletchers buried here, but supposedly family members of those buried here asked the Pletchers who owned the land if they could use this hilltop for burials. Centre County Library PA Room: Spangler Book 71, pgs. 71-81.
