Geocache Description:

Welcome To

Harmony Cemetery


You will be looking for a small Decon-type container with a log book and pencil.  The container is not near any of the graves, so please respect the area.  After finding the container, explore the history within the cemetery.
History:
    Harmony Baptist Church was constituted in the community of Grahamville-Heath on September 15, 1875 in the home of William and Minerva Boldry Wood under the leadership of Elder W.S. Boldry who immigrated to west McCracken County in 1859 from Robertson County, TN.  Son-in-law Reverend Elizah W. Benson, husband of Gillie Boldry, became the first pastor and served as such until his death on October 15, 1882.
    The first building, a one-room wooden structure, was erected in 1877.  In 1917, the church built a second building next to the first.  It was one of the largestrural church buildings in the South. 
    In early 1942, the United States Government bought a large tract of land to build the Kentucky Ordinance Works and the church was moved to Grahamville-Heath area. In the late 1960's the current building was constructed in Grahamville.


Location:
    From Exit 3 on I-24, turn west onto KY-305 (also known as Old Cairo Road) and drive approximately 3 miles to the "Y" junction of KY-305 and KY-358 (also known as Ogden Landing Road). Bear right at the "Y" junction and drive approximately 5 miles to the the 3-way stop intersection of KY-358 and KY-996 (also known as Metropolis Lake Road) that is located in Grahamville, Kentucky. Drive 0.2 miles to the intersection of KY-996 and KY-358 that continues west. Turn left onto KY-358 and drive 1.7 miles to an access road to the Lockheed-Martin USEC plant and turn left.
Harony Sign
A sign that says "Harmony Baptist Cemetery" is at the entrance to the access road and is hard to read in the spring and summer months due to weed growth. After turning left onto the access road, drive 0.2 miles to the cemetery that is located on the left.
