Mount Pleasant Cemetery is a very old pioneer cemetery located near the Boone Trace corridor and an old community known as Atlanta. The old Mount Pleasant church house once sat on the lot toward the frontage of Mount Pleasant road, less than one mile from KY 30. Often confused with nearby Watkins Cemetery, Mount Pleasant is slowly disappearing from existence. As of 2023, the forest is reclaiming the area. An estimated 100 old graves are scattered from the lower elevation all the way up to the higher knoll where 2 graves with granite stones from 1901 are visible. Less than 5 of the graves are known burials. The passage of time, along with natural elements, have caused this cemetery to slowly be erased. Only a keen eye can spot the old fieldstones and sunken spots of the Mount Pleasant graves that represent a people who once thrived in this pioneer community of Atlanta.
