Cemetery

 Pleasant Valley Alms Cemetery

Location

Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Harrisonburg, take Route 11 South (South Main Street). Turn left on to Route 679 (Pleasant Valley Road), then, turn left on to Route 710 (Greendale Road). Go less than 5/10 mile and sign marking cemetery entrance is on the right side of the road. There is a locked gate but the cemetery is accessible thru a walkway of about 200 yards.

Notes

Well maintained. Rev. Bill Zirk spent many hours, days, months, into researching the burials in this cemetery. Rev. Zirk was instrumental in getting Rockingham County and volunteers to restore the Alms cemetery to it’s present condition.
