A burial ground for members of the Amish faith,. Located about 3 miles southwest of Hagerstown on Lost Mile Road and close to the Wayne County & Henry County line.

Gravestones of the Amish are small, simple and unadorned of either stone or wood. Inscriptions contain the deceased name, date of birth, date of death, and age; or the marker may only have the individual's initials with no further data. Children usually are buried in unmarked graves or have small headstones that lie flat on the ground. In some communities Amish the tombstones are not inscribed and the elders maintain a map of the cemetery to identify occupants in each plot.

The grounds have a uniform straight row appearance due to graves being dug as death occurs in the community. The new grave is dug beside the last person buried. Families and spouses are not buried together.

This is a newer cemetery. The Amish first arrived in Wayne County in 1994, coming from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There are eight church districts in the area as of 2021.
