The Walker Cemetery is across the road from the Confederate Cemetery on East Rock Street. This Cemetery has always called to me & im glad i finally placed a cache here! Please always be respectful when walking around headstones! Also please take time to visit the different sections of this cemetery, youll notice some headstones further back in the woods that deserve some "Hello's" as well! Again be careful when walking around, i cant help but think that some of the medium/larger rocks might be headstones as well! Thank you & Happy Caching!
Please respect the cemetery hours as they are 7am-7pm
