The Guinea Road Cemetery (now defunct), located at the corner of Guinea Road and route 236, served the community of Ilda during the second half of the nineteenth century. Urban sprawl eventually covered all trace of the former community, which was populated largely of former African American slaves and freedmen, and the cemetery was all but forgotten by most, except a small number of descendants. Widening of the roads prompted an excavation, disinterment, examination, and, in 2006, the re-interment of over forty individuals at nearby Pleasant Valley Memorial Park (east on route 236) where a historic marker indicates the site.
