This is a lovely little cemetery in Brown County, Indiana that weaves around into the trees and down a small hill. The newer portion of the cemetery is laid out in nice rows, with a few across the road, while the older portion is more haphazardly laid out. I am not sure exactly when this cemetery was established, but I believe that the sign says it was in the 1830s. We visited on July 19. 2015.
