Description:
Located near the site of an Old School Baptist Church, One of the
first in this area of Delaware. Established in 1733 at the site of
an old baptist church, this area has graves dating back into the
the early 1700's. The foundation can still be seen around a few old
graves if you look closely. Many names on the markers may be
familiar to you, as the history of Delaware can always be found
among the many old grave yards in the First State.
