County: | Mason | |
USGS Quad: | Robertsburg | |
Coordinates: | 38.7041ºN -81.9465ºW | |
Maintained by: | unknown | |
Land owner: | Upton family | |
Date added to WVCPA register: | August 2005 | |
Condition of cemetery**: | Excellent (February 2007) | |
Accessibility: | Relatively accessible - when the gate is unlocked. The driveway is well-laid with gravel and maintained by the local water department (there is a large water tower adjacent to the cemetery on the top of the hill). If the gate is locked, there is enough space to park one car between the gate and the road, and it is a bit of a hike (steep at times) up the hill that should not be attempted if you have a serious heart or breathing condition, or if you have difficulty walking on rough gravel and steep terrain. If able to drive in, the last little stretch of the road is quite steep, and there is ample room at the top of the hill to turn around. | |
