Directions: At Old Fort, take Route 45 east 5.2 miles. Left onto Penns Cave Road, then right onto Allison Road. One mile from Route 45 is the Allison homestead (on left). Next farm lane to right. Up a hill in a farm field, surrounded by a stone wall.
Overall Condition:Poor
Notes:
Historical Status: This is a samll family cemetery spanning less than fifty years. There are however a good number of stones worth preservring. The yard itself is important in realtion to the Allison presence in the County.
Preservation Recommendation: This site will require extensive restoration in order to straighten and erect the fallen stones. A volunteer caretaker group would be the best way for protection, given that the site is restored first with some outside help. Many of the stones are in poor condition and may break if mishandled. The fence appears to need work as well and is an important cultural as well as protective feature of the site.
