Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Lanam Ridge Cemetery in Brown County, Indiana. It is located just off of Lanam Ridge Road near Yellowwood State Forest.
We visited this cemetery on September 20, 2015. It was a little hard to find as it is up a short gravel drive on a hill. It's much easier to see in the fall and winter. I am not sure when this cemetery was established but I do know that it is also known as the Neal Brown Cemetery.
UPDATE: This cemetery was established in 1843 and has had a lot of work done recently. There is a Facebook page for The Friends of Lanam Ridge Cemetery. Check it out here to see the work that has been done.
