The Unknown Cemetery
This very small graveyard, containing maybe 30 or less graves, is right at the corner of Houk Road and Central Avenue. You will have to park in the office complex and hike up the hill to get a good look at it; my aunt snapped a picture while we made the turn and I have not been back. When I do get back I will take a few better ones.
I was told that this graveyard is protected by the Delaware Preservation Society and it cannot be moved. It is a bit strange to see these tombstones from the 1800's, across from a Kroger's. Commercial development has raped the once heavily wooded Delaware, and the encroachment of businessess ensure that trees, woods and sacred ground such as this cemetery will be all but forgotten.
