This is a nice cemetery situated just behind the Unity Baptist Church on Unity Church Road and Spearsville Road in Beanblossom, Indiana.  It is also known as Unity Church Cemetery and has just under 500 interments.  The older section of the cemetery is located just behind the building and has some very nice headstones.  The stone marker for the cemetery states that it was established in 1808, which would make it one of the oldest that we have visited.
