This cemetery is on private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this cemetery.
Directions:
Find the Huffman Covered Bridge on a map. At the west end of the bridge is the intersection of Co Rd 1075S and Co Rd 600W. Go south on 600W about 300 yards. The road will more or less go around an old brown house that sits on a hill. Go up to the house, then go west past the barns and continue west on the path down to the small barn at the bottom of the hill. From this small barn, go north about 100 yards up the hill to the cemetery.
Condition: Fair
Cemetery itself is in pretty good shape. Property was recently sold and new owner is willing to maintain the cemetery. We should probably help him get started. The lane leading to the cemetery needs to be mowed.
