Geocache Description:


Walnut Crest

     Walnut Crest Cemetery (originally called the Preston County, Poor Farm) in Kingwood, West Virginia. Poor farms were government run facilities, many time operating farms, where those with no job or means of support could live and work.

     A monument to those buried there is along the road. The burial ground is located just behind the monument. Flat concrete markers designate many of the graves there and the markers have a number stamped into the concrete or are marked with an aluminum plate stamped "Unknown". The stamped numbers are listed with the name on the monument plaque. Other names listed without numbers are known to be buried there but the exact grave is unknown.

 

Easy park and grab...parking pull off beside monument.
