Directions: Take Route 26 South from State College. At intersection of Route 26and West Whitehall Road turn right. Go 7.1 miles on West Whitehall Road untilthere is a sharp left turn in the road. At this turn is a dirt farm lane to right. Several hundred yards back road the cemetery is on the left.

Overall Condition: Fair

Notes:

Historical Status: Site includes a wide variety of stones. Very representative of community at time. Burials here probably began as early as 1830.

Preservation Recommendation: This is a site which will require a volunteer caretaker group for preservation. Presently no one is caring for the site on a consistent basis resulting in overgrowth in between each trimming back. Site was last cared for on United Way Day of Caring by volunteers from The State of the Art.
