Take Highway 73 West from Albemarle to Mount Pleasant. At the first stoplight, turn left onto South Main Street. South Main will turn into Mount Pleasant Road. Continue on Mount Pleasant Road until you come to a four-way intersection. At this intersection, turn left onto Miami Church Road. Go to the very end of Miami Church Road and turn left onto Barrier-Georgeville Road. There is no street sign here, but, as you turn left, the cemetery will be on your left, up on a very small hill near the road. This cemetery is in poor condition. There is a large wooden structure in the middle of the cemetery.
